Biography
Born in Sudbury, Suffolk, in 1727, Thomas Gainsborough emerged as a central figure in British art during the 18th century. He trained in London under the engraver Hubert Gravelot and the painter Francis Hayman before establishing his career as a portraitist and landscape painter, eventually becoming a founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts.
Gainsborough is noted for his preference for landscape painting, though he achieved his greatest commercial success through portraiture. His mature works are distinguished by a light color palette and an expressive, loose application of paint that departed from the more formal academic styles of his contemporaries.
His enduring influence on British art continues to be recognized by major institutions. In 2027, the Tate is scheduled to host a landmark survey of his work to commemorate the 300th anniversary of his birth.
