Thomas Gainsborough

Description:

"This new study concentrates on the early life and works of the great eighteenth-century artist, Thomas Gainsborough. 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 in his true passion, landscapes, as well as provide portraits for a provincial clientele." "This volume not only sheds light on the development of one of England's most revered painters, but also offers an intimate look at the work of a young painter in the thrall of his subjects, and just beginning to realise his full talents."--BOOK JACKET.
