About This Book
Thomas Gainsborough was one of the great English portrait and landscape painters of the eighteenth century. His modern manner of painting based on emotions was criticized by contemporaries such as Joshua Reynolds, but it gave Gainsborough a special position in an art world dominated by academic rigor and earned him the greatest appreciation from English society.
