Despite this famous protestation in a letter to his friend William Jackson, Thomas Gainsborough (1727-88) was clearly prepared to make an exception when it came to making portraits of his own family and himself. This book features over 50 portraits of himself, his wife, his daughters, other close relatives and his beloved dogs, Tristram and Fox. Spanning more than four decades, Gainsborough's family portraits chart the period from the mid-1740s, when he plied his trade in his native Suffolk, to his most successful latter years at his luxuriously appointed studio in London's West End. Alongside this story of a provincial 18th-century artist's rise to fame and fortune runs a more private narrative, about the role of portraiture in the promotion of family values, at a time when these were assuming a recognizably modern form. 600 10 $a Gainsborough, Thomas, $d 1727-1788 $v Exhibitions. 600 10 $a Gainsborough, Thomas, $d 1727-1788 $x Family $v Exhibitions. 600 30 $a Gainsborough family $v Exhibitions. $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a Bermingham, Ann, $e author. $4 aut 700 1 $a Sloman, Susan, $e author. $4 aut 700 1 $a Gainsborough, Thomas, $d 1727-1788, $e artist. $4 art 710 2 $a National Portrait Gallery (Great Britain) 710 2 $a Princeton University. $b Art Museum. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021011046.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402014313.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F29C4E403F1711E98434DF6697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
