关于这幅画
Conversation in a Park (French: Conversation dans un parc) is an oil painting by the British artist Thomas Gainsborough, from 1746. A conversation piece, it depicts a couple sitting on a bench in the gardens of a country estate. It is believed to feature a self-portrait of the painter and his wife Margaret, who he married that year.
It may have been loosely inspired by Gainsborough's courtship in Vauxhall Gardens. It certainly represents an idealised view, and represents the sort of society that Gainsborough hopes to paint in his portraits and aspired to join himself.
The painting has been in the collection of the Louvre, in Paris, since 1952.

Thomas Gainsborough当时的生活
完整生平1740s
Making a living in London: landscapes, restoration, prints
Landscapes interest the young man most — plant sketches from the 1740s survive. He earns his living with landscapes on commission, touches up old paintings, assists the engraver John Boydell, and helps Francis Hayman decorate the supper boxes in Vauxhall Gardens.
1745
A studio of his own and a “remarkably clever dog”
In 1745 Gainsborough sets up his own studio. One of his first signed pictures, of the same year, shows a bull terrier against a landscape; on the back of the canvas the artist wrote “Remarkably clever dog”.
15 July 1746
Marriage to Margaret Burr
On 15 July 1746 Gainsborough marries Margaret Burr, an illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Beaufort.
1748
His father dies; back to Sudbury
Gainsborough's father, John, dies in 1748. With no new commissions coming in London, the painter returns to Sudbury, to the house of his childhood.
c. 1749
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”.
