그림 소개
The Fallen Tree is a landscape Thomas Gainsborough painted around 1750–53, now in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis. Beyond the fallen trunk and grazing cattle stands the spire of Saint Andrew's at Great Cornard. The church was only about a kilometre from his home in Sudbury, Suffolk. As a young artist, Gainsborough explored Cornard Wood and the Stour Valley, carrying a sketchbook. Despite his later fame as a portraitist, he preferred landscapes and helped establish their place in British art. This canvas hangs in gallery G324.
미술관의 설명
Though best known for his magnificent portraits, Thomas Gainsborough preferred painting “landskips” (as he called them) and played a key role in establishing the importance of landscape in British art. As a young artist he enjoyed the beauties of his native Suffolk countryside, walking the picturesque landscape of the Stour Valley and Cornard Wood with sketchbook in hand. The distant spire behind the fallen tree and grazing cows can be identified as the small parish church of Saint Andrews in Great Cornard, just a kilometer from Gainsborough's house in his hometown of Sudbury (Suffolk).

Landscapes do not pay: a turn to portraiture
Gainsborough has always thought of himself as a landscape painter, but landscapes bring no income: in the England of the day they count as a “low genre”. Around 1749 he unites portrait and landscape in one composition for the first time, in “Mr and Mrs Andrews”.

The move to Ipswich
In 1752 Gainsborough, his wife and their two daughters, Mary (“Molly”) and Margaret (“Peggy”), move to Ipswich.
