Thomas Gainsborough (1727- 1788) was one of the most prominent English painters during the second half of the 18th century. He was most well known for his portraiture and was commissioned on several occasions to paint for the King of England. Gainsborough also enjoyed to paint landscapes, though at the time they were not quite as popular as portraits among commissioners. He was also one of the founding members of the Royal Academy.
