The only truly original landscape artist of the period was also one of its greatest portrait painters, Thomas Gainsborough. No other painter applied himself so successfully to both branches of art, though he said that he preferred landscape and only painted portraits for a living. He was the kind of painter who paints as if by nature. His works have neither the solidity nor the eclectic resourcefulness of Reynolds, and their substance seems often to depend simply on the fluent and lyrical movement of his brush. Unimpressed by the classical masters (he never went to Italy), he turned to two other sources nearer at hand: Dutch landscapes, which were closely attuned to his native East Anglia, and French sensibility, acquired in the circle of Hayman. The first, combined with the detailed observation of nature, can be seen in his early 'Landscape with a Cornfield', the second in more fanciful works like the 'Landscape with Gypsies'. After he moved to Bath in 1759, and subsequently to London in 1774, the influence of

Retour © picturalissime Gainsborough, Thomas (1727-1788), peintre britannique qui rencontra un immense succès auprès de l'aristocratie anglaise et fut considéré comme l'un des plus grands paysagistes et portraitistes de son temps. Gainsborough étudia dès l'âge de quinze ans le dessin et la gravure, à Londres, auprès du français Hubert Gravelot avant d'aborder la peinture avec Francis Hayman, peintre de sujets historiques. Il subit l'influence d'Antoine Watteau et fut sensible à l'œuvre d'Anthony Van Dyck, de Rubens et de Ruysdael. De 1750 à 1759, Gainsborough vécut et travailla à Ipswich. De 1760 à 1774, il résida à Bath, station thermale très en vogue où il connut un grand succès et peignit de nombreux portraits d'aristocrates ainsi que des paysages. En 1768, il devint l'un des premiers membres de la Royal Academy ; il se fixa définitivement à Londres en 1774. Gainsborough exécuta plus de cinq cents toiles parmi lesquelles on compte près de deux cents portraits. Ceux-ci, qui représentent en général des membres de l'aristocratie anglaise, sont caractérisés par des couleurs fraîches et harmonieuses, surtout des verts et des bleus, appliquées en petites touches légères. Les toiles de Gainsborough expriment, en outre, une vibration lumineuse et colorée tout à fait unique et une mélancolie poétique due à un éclairage emprunté à la peinture hollandaise du

http://www.curiosando.com/arte2/arte/pagine_storiche_arte/gainsborough_Duchessa.
Storia dell'Arte Secoli/Peroiodi XIV XV XVI XVII ... XX Elenco Artisti Cimabue Caravaggio Murillo Domenichino ... Sponsor GAINSBOROUGH Thomas (pittore inglese) RITRATTO DELLA DUCHESSA DI BEAUFORT XVIII Secolo Ammirabile al: Museo dell'Hermitage San Pietroburgo
Tela cm 76 X 64 L'opera:

Il Ritratto della duchessa di Beaufort sicuramente non è tra le opere più conosciute di Gainsborough. È appartenuto alla collezione di C.G.Wertheimer; in seguito, ovvero prima del 1842, lo troviamo in possesso di Alexis de Hitroff, a Parigi. Sembra che sia stato donato al museo dell'Hermitage, dove attualmente si trova esposto, nel 1912. Molte delle opere di Gainsborough si trovano alla National Gallery di Londra come : La passeggiata mattutina, Le figlie del pittore, Il bosco di Conrad e Robert Andrews e sua moglie. Analisi stilistica:
La duchessa di Beaufort, altrimenti detta La dama in azzurro, viene raffigurata da Gainsborough a mezzo busto; la testa impreziosita da un'elegante capigliatura e da un cappello piumato, secondo le mode dell'epoca, è leggermente inclinata sulla destra; l'espressione del volto con le labbra leggermente dischiuse e gli occhi languidi, sembra far trasparire un atteggiamento timido, quasi imbarazzato, confermato dal delicato, forse pudico gesto della mano nel sollevare il manto azzurro. Gainsborough riesce abilmente ad unire l'aspetto lirico a quello più propriamente tecnico - esecutivo. Il ritratto esibisce una virtuosa abilità tecnica e dal punto di vista formale è impeccabile.

Gainsborough, Thomas
Gainsborough, Thomas (1727-88). English painter of portraits, landscapes, and fancy pictures, one of the most individual geniuses in British art. He was born at Sudbury, Soffolk, and went to London in about 1740, probably studying with the French engraver Gravelot. He returned to Sudbury in 1748 and in 1752 he set up as a portrait painter at Ipswitch. His work at this time consisted mainly of heads and half-length, but he also painted some small portrait groups in landscape settings which are the most lyrical of all English conversation pieces ( Heneage Lloyd and his Sister , Fitzwilliam, Cambridge). His patrons were the merchants of the town and the neighboring squires, but when in 1759 he moved to Bath, his new sitters were members of Society, and he developed a free and elegant mode of painting seen at its most characteristic in full-length portraits ( Mary, Countess Howe , Kenwood House, London, c.1763-64). In 1768 he was elected a foundation member of the Royal Academy, and in 1774 he moved permanently to London. Here he further developed the personal style he had evolved at Bath, working with light and rapid brush-strokes and delicate and evanescent colors. He became a favorite painter of the Royal Family, even though his rival Reynolds was appointed King's Principal Painter. Gainsborough sometimes said that while portraiture was his profession landscape painting was his pleasure, and he continued to paint landscapes long after he had left a country neighborhood. He produced many landscape drawings, some in pencil, some in charcoal and chalk, and he occasionally made drawings which he varnished. He also, in later years, painted fancy pictures of pastoral subjects (
