Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas Gainsborough: His Life, Work, Friends, and Sitters The art of Gainsborough has since occupied the energies of many able writers, but, with the exception of some allusions in letters, memoirs, and lives of his con temporaries which have appeared from time to time, little has been added to our knowledge of the details of his life, and Fulcher's interesting volume seems likely to remain the chief authority.

So far as it is known, the story of Gainsborough's life is a simple and happy one. It may be broadly divided into three sections, their divisions being marked by the two great events of the painter's career - his migrations to Bath and London.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas Gainsborough: A Record of His Life and Works In the world of literature, as in that of politics and of science, many great stars arose and set during Gainsborough's career. Samuel johnson was just beginning to attract notice by his Latin translations in the year the artist was born, and died three years before him; Oliver Goldsmith, one year younger than Gainsborough, was cut Off in the prime of life in 1774, when his great contemporary was at the zenith of his fame; Fielding's first comedy was produced in Drury Lane when Gainsborough was a year old; Cowper, though he was four years younger than the artist and survived him sixteen years, had produced all his best work and sunk into imbecility before 1788. In 1727 Richardson was still a mere scribbler for the newspapers, his Pamela not having been produced till 1740; Sterne, a lad Of fourteen when Gainsborough was born, did not issue the book which made his reputation till he was fifty; Chatterton, the brilliant meteor who flashed so rapidly across the literary firmament to be quenched in early dissolu tion, was born whilst Gainsborough was still a struggling painter at Ipswich, and died before the great artist had reached the acme of his fame Gray, with whose quiet descriptions of rural scenery the landscapes of Gainsborough had some affinity, was producing his immortal works of classic style, but truly English sentiment, when the Suffolk painter was just beginning his career; Burns was the idol of Scotland and of England throughout the whole of Gainsborough's career; and the mystery of Dean Swift's connection with Stella was still being eagerly canvassed in literary circles when the young neophyte first came to London. In striking contrast with the intense and fevered political and literary activity of the eighteenth century, not only in England, but throughout Europe, was the decline of all true art production. In Italy, the land so long prolific of painters of real genius, not a single name of note rises above the dead level of uniform mediocrity: for Canaletto, Guardi.

Book excerpt: This new study on Thomas Gainsborough concentrates on the early life and works of the great eighteenth-century artist. Gainsborough's talent was evident at a young age, and before he established himself as one of London's leading portrait artists he was able to indulge himself in his true passion, landscapes, as well as providing portraits for a provincial clientele. Graced with the light and gentle shadows of the English countryside, these early works provided the foundation for much of Gainsborough's later work. But many of them, including the renowned Mr. and Mrs. Andrews, and His Daughters Chasing a Butterfly, can be called masterpieces in their own right. It was in Suffolk that the artist developed a naturalistic approach to portraiture by abandoning "conversation pieces" and painting instead a number of straightforward head-and-shoulder portraits. This lively and accessible volume features eighty color and black-and-white reproductions of Gainsborough's paintings, etchings, and drawings. They not only shed light on the development of one of England's most revered painters, but also offer an intimate look at the work of a young painter in the thrall of his subjects, and just beginning to realize his full talents.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gainsborough and His Place in English Art HE pages of a biography, even when the subject is a painter, are scarcely, perhaps, the right place for discussing the nature of art. I am tempted, nevertheless, to venture upon such a discussion, partly because it seems convenient to confess one's faith and explain the ideas by which one intends to be guided, partly because my own cogita tions have led me to conclusions not hitherto formulated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book begins by charting the geography and professional tactics of a career that took Gainsbourgh from London to Suffolk, Bath and eventually back to London. Rosenthal looks at such wide-ranging topics as how artists manipulated the press, the issue of likeness in portraiture, how rivalries between painters were handled in public and private, and the pressures of the public exhibition. The second part of the book explores the manifestations of Gainsborugh's aesthetic in portraiture, landscape painting and paintings of sensibility. Rosenthal concludes with a discussion of the problem of defining a role and proper form for the fine arts at a time of rapid social change and innovation."--BOOK JACKET.
