One of the most significant 18th century English painters. From 1740 he studied under Hubert Gravelot in London and then with Francis Hayman. Gainsborough lived in Sudbury and Ipswitch then in Bath and from 1774 he resided in London. Here he was a member of the Academy. He was influenced by French Rococo, Dutch landscape paintings, painter Anthonis van Dyck and then later by Bartolome Esteban Murillo and the light-effects of Philippe Jacques Loutherbourg. He began painting pastoral scenes and landscapes, then turned to portrait paintings and eventually developed the new genre of the landscape portrait. His works include Robert Andrews and his wife Frances, The Watering Hole and Queen Charlotte.
