1819 Thomas Gainsborough, Landscape, Large Folio Soft Ground Etching, Wash

About the Item

Engraved by J. Laporte after Thomas Gainsborough Soft-ground etching with blue-green wash Landscape Published in the series: Collection of Prints Illustrative of English Scenery from the Drawings and Sketches of Thomas Gainsborough, R.A. (1819) Sheet Size: ca. 29.5 x 34.5 cm. References: Abbey, Life 203; Thieme-B. XXII, 376 u. XXXV, 360. A beautiful and delicate print, from the 1819 Boydell edition, published in London. Printed on wove paper and in excellent condition for its age. A founding member of the Royal Academy and a rival of its first President, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough was one of the leading portraitists of late 18th century England. Unlike Reynolds, he was a favourite painter of King George III and Queen Charlotte. Gainsborough’s landscapes were also hugely influential and helped establish the importance of landscape as a category of painting in Britain.
