 Sudbury
is the birthplace of Thomas Gainsborough. The house where he
was born is open to the public and has a collection of his works
on show. Gainsborough is known for his portraits but he once
said that portraiture was his profession, landscape painting
was his pleasure and one can only assume that landscapes of his
childhood had a part to play in this attitude. The painting on
the left is his "Mr and Mrs Andrews", Robert Andrews
and his wife Frances Mary were married in 1748, not long before
Gainsborough painted their portraits - and that of Auberies,
their farm near Sudbury. The church in the background is St Peter's,
Sudbury, and the tower to the left is that of Lavenham church.
The small full-length portrait in an open-air rustic setting
is typical of Gainsborough's early works, painted in his native
Suffolk. |
