96
S., ISBN 3-7913-2784-4, EUR 29,95.
REZENSIERT VON:
COLIN HARRISON
ASHMOLEAN MUSEUM OXFORD
THE GREATEST TRIBUTE TO THE GENIUS OF THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH
CAME NOT FROM THE AMERICAN MILLIONAIRES WHO, A CENTURY
AFTER HIS DEATH, PAID VAST FORTUNES FOR HIS FLAMBOYANT FULL-
LENGTH PORTRAITS, BUT FROM HIS CONTEMPORARY AND RIVAL, SIR
JOSHUA REYNOLDS. GAINSBOROUGH S RELATIONS WITH THE ROYAL
ACADEMY WERE NEVER EASY, YET ITS PRESIDENT USED ONE OF HIS
OFFICIAL DISCOURSES TO DELIVER A FULSOME EULOGY ON
GAINSBOROUGH S ACHIEVEMENT AND HIS PLACE IN ENGLISH ART.
LIKE LATER GENERATIONS, REYNOLDS PLACED GREATEST EMPHASIS
ON HIS LATE STYLE, ALL THOSE ODD SCRATCHES AND MARKS , AND
IT IS ONLY RECENTLY THAT HIS EARLIER WORK HAS BECOME
FASHIONABLE. BUT, AS HUGH BELSEY NOTES IN HIS NEW BOOK,
GAINSBOROUGH TOOK TWENTY YEARS TO REACH HIS MATURE STYLE.
THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH: A COUNTRY LIFE IS NOT, AS ITS TITLE
MIGHT SEEM TO IMPLY, A STRAIGHTFORWARD BIOGRAPHY, BUT RATHER AN ATTEMPT
TO EXAMINE THE
ORIGINS OF GAINSBOROUGH S MATURE ART, TO SHOW HOW WIDENING HORIZONS
ENABLED HIM TO
DEVELOP AS AN ARTIST. BELSEY IS WELL PLACED: HE HAS BEEN FOR MANY YEARS
THE CURATOR OF
GAINSBOROUGH S HOUSE IN SUDBURY, THE LITTLE MARKET TOWN WHERE THE ARTIST
WAS BORN, AND
IS MAINLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CURRENT COLLECTION, WHICH NATURALLY
CONCENTRATES ON THE
ARTIST S YEARS IN SUFFOLK, AND INCLUDES SEVERAL MASTERPIECES.
BELSEY JUDICIOUSLY DIVIDES HIS TEXT INTO FIVE CHAPTERS. REGRETTABLY
LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT
GAINSBOROUGH S TRAINING AS AN ARTIST, AND MOST DETAILS MUST BE SURMISED
FROM SCANTY
EVIDENCE. BELSEY DOES THIS WITH GREAT SKILL IN HIS FIRST CHAPTER,
CONCENTRATING THROUGHOUT
ON THE EVIDENCE OF THE PICTURES, BUT LINKING THEM WHEREVER POSSIBLE TO
DETAILS ABOUT THE
SITTERS, THE PATRONS, AND GAINSBOROUGH HIMSELF. FROM HIS BEGINNINGS AT
SUDBURY, WHERE
HE PAINTED HIS FIRST PORTRAIT, THE NOW FRAGMENTARY PORTRAIT OF A GIRL
AND BOY OF CIRCA
1745 AND LONG, AND NOT SURPRISINGLY, ATTRIBUTED TO HOGARTH, GAINSBOROUGH
WORKED SOLIDLY,
PRODUCING A GREAT VARIETY OF WORKS WITHIN HIS CHOSEN FIELDS OF LANDSCAPE
AND PORTRAITURE.
THE SECOND CHAPTER IS AN EXTENDED DISCUSSION OF HIS FIRST GREAT
LANDSCAPE, CORNARD
WOOD , 1748 (NATIONAL GALLERY, LONDON), COMPARING IT WITH DUTCH MODELS
AND
GAINSBOROUGH S EARLIEST PAINTINGS. HERE, AS ELSEWHERE, BELSEY WEAVES
SOCIAL HISTORY,
CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE PAINTINGS THEMSELVES, AND FAMILIARITY WITH
RECENT LITERATURE.
THE THIRD CHAPTER, ODDLY ENTITLED RE-VIEWING THE LANDSCAPE (AN UNHAPPY
NOD IN THE
DIRECTION OF THE PSEUDO-SCHOLARSHIP FASHIONABLE IN SOME MUSEUMS AND
UNIVERSITIES),
MOVES FROM TWO TOWNSCAPES OF 1747-8, ONE IN SUFFOLK AND THE OTHER, THE
CHARTERHOUSE , IN LONDON (CORAM FOUNDATION, FOUNDLING HOSPITAL), TO ONE
OF HIS MOST
POPULAR WORKS, THE PORTRAIT OF MR AND MRS ANDREWS OF CIRCA 1750
(NATIONAL GALLERY,
LONDON). FOR THE FIRST TIME, LANDSCAPE AND PORTRAIT WERE SUCCESSFULLY
COMBINED, THE
WHOLE SO MUCH MORE ALIVE THAN IN THE WORK OF GAINSBOROUGH S
CONTEMPORARIES, ARTHUR
DEVIS AND FRANCIS HAYMAN. IN HIS FOLLOWING CHAPTER PORTRAITURE IN THE
COUNTRY , BELSEY
DISCUSSES THE PORTRAITS HE MADE IN THE COUNTY TOWN OF SUFFOLK, IPSWICH,
WHERE CLIENTELE
WAS MORE NUMEROUS AND MORE PROSPEROUS. FINALLY, BELSEY DEVOTES A BRIEF
CHAPTER TO
GAINSBOROUGH S YEARS AT BATH, AND THE BEGINNING OF HIS MATURE MANNER.
ACCOUNTING FOR
THE TRANSFORMATION OF HIS STYLE IN THE LATE 1750S HAS ALWAYS BEEN
DIFFICULT. BELSEY
PROPOSES, REASONABLY, THAT THE NEW ROUGH MANNER MIGHT HAVE BEEN
DEVELOPED FROM
LOOKING AT PASTELS. CERTAINLY, GAINSBOROUGH S OWN DRAWINGS BECAME
CORRESPONDINGLY FREE
AND SOPHISTICATED. THE TEXT ENDS WITH GAINSBOROUGH S FIRST EXHIBIT AT
THE ROYAL ACADEMY,
ISABELLA, VISCOUNTESS MOLYNEUX (LATER COUNTESS OF SEFTON), IN THE
CONSUMMATE MATURE
STYLE, ALL SHIMMERING SILKS AND DRAMATICALLY LIT LANDSCAPE, THAT ARE SO
FAMILIAR.
THE BOOK IS HANDSOMELY ILLUSTRATED, THE TEXT LIVELY AND STIMULATING.
OCCASIONALLY,
BELSEY S IMAGINATION RUNS AWAY WITH HIM: FOR EXAMPLE, THERE IS NO VISUAL
PARALLEL
BETWEEN GAINSBOROUGH S PORTRAIT OF MISS ANN FORD AND HOGARTH S THE
LADY S LAST
STAKE , THOUGH THE SUBJECTS OF BOTH MAY BE REFORMED GAMBLERS. ALSO,
THERE IS AN
UNCOMFORTABLE NUMBER OF NEOLOGISMS - PENTIMENT , SAQUE , VERISTIC -
AND BASIC
MISTAKES - TORYS , A EMPLOYABLE SKILL . NEVERTHELESS, THIS IS AN
ENJOYABLE AND
STIMULATING INTRODUCTION TO ENGLAND S MOST VERSATILE PAINTER IN HIS
FIRST TWENTY YEARS.
