Thanks! Some of these are really beautiful, and a lot I'd never seen before.

>>2197I have more. I will post them in time. I also accidentally posted a few images twice, I didn't think it was possible to post the same image twice. I'll be more careful in future.

>>2039"The boy in this portrait was Gainsborough's nephew, the son of his youngest sister, Susanna Gardiner. A late nineteenth-century source tells us that Gardiner 'was constantly in and out of the studio as a boy of twelve'. He is shown here in 'Van Dyck' costume, a fancy dress version of Cavalier attire which it was then fashionable for portrait sitters to wear. It is the same costume, in fact, that was worn by Jonathan Buttall in Gainsborough's famous full-length portrait known as the 'Blue Boy' (Huntington Art Gallery, San Marino, California). It is thought that the artist painted this portrait of Richard Gardiner 'as a trial of colour' before attempting the 'Blue Boy'. "

I read a story about a boy at an English boarding school who loved the sex going on between the residents, but wanted his teacher. The teacher had a crush on the boy in pic related, and so the student used that knowledge to seduce his adult friend. It was a very well written short story, and incorporated elements of art and social discussion wonderfully.

This is supposedly a self-portrait of the young Thomas Gainsborough.
