Thomas Gainsborough - Paintings


Thomas Gainsborough, who is regarded as the developer of the new English landscape portraits, was the most important English landscape painter and portraitist of Rococo.
Born on May 14, 1727 in Sudbury, Suffolk.
Died on August 02, 1788 in London.
Thomas Gainsborough already gained great importance with his early landscape paintings. They are characterized by their cool colors, special lighting and an unprecedented realism. However, he found the clientele for his paintings only after moving to Bath in 1759, where he became known above all by the new type of imaging, which he developed, used for his landscape portraits, in which Dutch naturalism and English elegance combine. In 1780, Thomas Gainsborough was appointed portrait painter of the royal family, so that he could afford a good living from 1784 onwards as an artist independent from the Academy.
