その頃、Thomas Gainsboroughの人生では
生涯をすべて見る1759–1774
Bath: Van Dyck and Rubens in the houses of the local aristocracy
Of great importance to Gainsborough is his acquaintance with paintings by Anthony van Dyck and Peter Paul Rubens owned by local aristocrats; he copies some of them. The study of the old masters is linked to the appearance in his landscapes of luminous distances that he had not been able to achieve before.
1760s
“Sick of portraits”
In a letter to a friend Gainsborough confesses that he is sick of portraits and longs to take his viola da gamba and walk off to some quiet village to paint landscapes. He has little regard for his gentleman patrons, whose only part worth looking at, he says, is their purse; by now he owns five viols — three by Henry Jaye and two by Barak Norman.
1768
An invitation to found the Royal Academy
In November 1768 Joshua Reynolds sends Gainsborough an invitation to become one of the thirty-six founding members of the Royal Academy of Arts; the Academy is founded on 10 December 1768.
