At the birthplace museum of Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788), in Sudbury on the river Stour in East Anglia, there are more of the artist's paintings, drawings and prints collected together than anywhere else in the world. This book is the first publication of the collection, which illuminates all aspects of Gainsborough's career Gainsborough was a complex character, whose witty and spirited utterances cannot always be taken at face value. Hugh Belsey's knowledgeable and visually sensitive commentary on works that, often, he himself has acquired for Gainsborough's House constitute an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to get inside the skin of this charming, influential but elusive and very English artist. Published to coincide with a major retrospective exhibition of Thomas Gainsborough in London, Washington and Boston 2002-03, this book contains many choice works not featuring in that show but reproduced here in colour for the first time.
