This book attempts to survey and analyse a substantial gathering of such objects, made by Gainsborough’s House Society over the last ten or more years, and track the development of perceptions of Gainsborough’s art over the two hundred and fifty years since he flourished – through the evidence of graphic and plastic forms, often on very humble objects, rather than through what professional critics and commentators have said about his work. Contemporary fiction and journalism are also very much part of the story.
Written by Hugh Belsey and Christopher Wright

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.
