From Gainsborough to Constable Exhibition Catalogue

£4.00

Towards the end of his life, in a lecture delivered on Thursday 16 June 1836 at the Royal Institution, John Constable included one of the most moving tributes that any artist has paid another.

‘The landscape of Gainsborough is soothing, tender, and affecting. The stillness of noon, the depths of twilight, and the dews and pearls of the morning, are all to be found in the canvases of the most benevolent and kind-hearted man. On looking at them, we have tears in our eyes, and know not what brings them.’

Description

The exhibition ‘The emergence of naturalism in British landscape painting 1750-1810’ shows evidence for not only John Constable’s admiration for Gainsborough but all his other formative influences. The catalogue includes multiple influential essays on the subject of John Constables Early and Late work.

John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough were the most famous landscape masters who took inspiration from Suffolk Landscapes.

Gainsborough's House

Gainsborough's House is in the heart of Suffolk, in Sudbury, and the birthplace and childhood home of Thomas Gainsborough – one of the great figures of British and World Art history, renowned not only in his advancement of portraiture to a higher level but also in being one of the founders of the British School of landscape painting.
A bricked Georgian Grade-I listed house with an intimate walled garden featuring a 400 year old Mulberry Tree, in 2019, the Gainsborough’s House Society received an investment of £10m to upgrade and ‘revive the artist’s birthplace’. On 21 November 2022, the museum re-opened to the public after a transformational refurbishment. The museum is the international centre for Thomas Gainsborough and is now the largest gallery in Suffolk.

Visitors can view the family house, the new gallery spaces, examples of Gainsborough’s work, alongside specialist exhibitions and the famed garden and Mulberry Tree dating to the early 1600s. The space also has a cafe and visitor’s shop.
