内容简介

托马斯-庚斯伯勒（1727-88）在伦敦的日子，从1774年到1788年，是他职业生涯的巅峰和终点。这段时期恰逢皇家学院成立，庚斯伯勒是该学院的创始成员之一，同时该城市也成为了一个艺术中心。这是一本经过精心研究、可读性强的书，讲述了庚斯伯勒如何设计自己的家和工作室，如何维持不断增长的有影响力的赞助人，在18世纪末的伦敦艺术界为自己谋得一席之地。关于庚斯伯勒技术的新材料是基于对他的画作的检查和工作室访客的第一手资料。他与皇家学院及其展览文化的不和关系通过他送去的年度展览作品得到了重新审视。从时尚的肖像画到风景画和花式画，庚斯伯勒艺术的全部范围都在这一重大贡献中得到了解决，这不仅是对一位伟大艺术家的研究，也是对18世纪研究的总体贡献。

Thomas Gainsborough’s (1727–88) London years, from 1774 to 1788, were the pinnacle and conclusion of his career. They coincided with the establishment of the Royal Academy, of which Gainsborough was a founding member, and the city’s ascendance as a center for the arts. This is a meticulously researched and readable account of how Gainsborough designed his home and studio and maintained a growing schedule of influential patrons, making a place for himself in the art world of late-18th-century London. New material about Gainsborough’s technique is based on examinations of his pictures and firsthand accounts by studio visitors. His fractious relationship with the Royal Academy and its exhibition culture is reexamined through the works he sent to its annual shows. The full range of Gainsborough’s art, from fashionable portraits to landscapes and fancy pictures, is addressed in this major contribution, not just to the study of a great artist, but to 18th-century studies in general.
