GAINSBOROUGH
WILLIAM VAUGHAN / THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH
'Gainsborough' is one of the most appealing artists of the eighteenth century. Renowned for such elegant portraits as The Blue Boy and Countess Howe, he also pioneered a new form of landscape with a moody sensibility that prefigured the Romantic movement. He was a brilliant draftsman, and his art is full of inventiveness and visual delight.
