Thomas Gainsborough bio - from Sudbury, Suffolk - English 18th Century artist HD

This is a bit off the beaten track for me, but as Thomas Gainsborough was a local lad and his childhood home is only a few miles from me, which I visited recently, I thought I would put this video together which very briefly outlines this great English artists story. Born in the market town of Sudbury in Suffolk and sent to London at the age of 13 to learn his craft. Married and moved to Bath which was a wealthier part of the country where there was more portrait work around from the great and titled English aristocrats - they didn't want to buy Gainsboroughs landscapes which he enjoyed painting more. I suppose when you have the patronage of the King and Queen - you really have made it as an artist - that leaves me with a very long journey ahead! Hope you enjoy the video and if you get a chance go to Thomas Gainsborough's house in Sudbury - well worth a visit and it has a beautiful garden. http://www.gainsborough.org My website:- http://www.stevebuchananart.co.uk
