	Thomas Gainsborough
		Gainsborough had a countryman's love of dogs, which frequently enter into his portraits in a completely natural way his 'Pomeranian Bitch and Puppy' is a particularly happy example of his ability to raise them to the level of artistic portraiture.
		Gainsborough's strength lay in his free and excellent drawing, and many of his paintings give the feeling of the artist thinking with his brush, an immediacy usually reserved for watercolours.
		It is not surprising that the solemn rulings of the Academy proved unsympathetic to his individual and unrhetorical art, so that in his last years he dissociated himself from it and showed his work only in his studio.

	Biography
		Gainsborough declared that his first love was landscape and began to learn the language of this art from the Dutch 17th-century landscapists, who by 1740 were becoming popular with English collectors; his first landscapes were influenced by Jan Wynants.
		Gainsborough preferred to paint his friends rather than public figures, and a group of portraits of the 1760s - Uvedale Price, Sir William St. Quinton, and Thomas Coward, all oldish men of strong character - illustrate Gainsborough's sense of humour and his individual approach to sympathetic sitters.
		Of all the 18th-century English painters, Thomas Gainsborough was the most inventive and original, always prepared to experiment with new ideas and techniques, and yet he complained of his contemporary Sir Joshua Reynolds, Damn him, how various he is. Gainsborough alone among the great portrait painters of the era also devoted serious attention to landscapes.

	Sensation and Sensibility: Viewing Gainsborough's Cottage Door (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Gainsborough's friend Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg, for instance, was less concerned in his landscapes with sentiment than with conveying a convincing depiction of natural light and atmosphere in the context of thrilling and terrible events such as fires and storms.
		Gainsborough's images were greatly admired precisely because they excited no idea of "dirt or wretchedness." His large scale images of peasants were often known as "fancy pictures" because they were clearly the work of imagination and effaced the harsh realities of a peasant's everyday life.
		Gainsborough's involvement with and keen interest in these contemporary theatrical and even sensational spectacles suggests that he was not immune to the cult of special effects that followed on the heels of sensibility's appeal to the emotions.
