When Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788) arrived in the spa town of
Bath, England, at the age of thirty-one, he was an artist of modest
reputation. When he left sixteen years later, he was recognized as
one of Europe's foremost painters. In this exceptional book, Susan
Sloman examines for the first time how this transformation took
place. She offers an entirely new view of Gainsborough's
development during his middle years as well as abundant new
information about Bath and its role, for a few decades in the
eighteenth century, as a cultural center of Europe. Drawing on
freshly discovered documents and a variety of little-known
contemporary published sources, Sloman illuminates artistic
activity in Bath and Gainsborough's part in it. She reveals how
Gainsborough's prominence as an artist and Bath's as a cultural hub
were intimately connected during a period in which the artist and
his town flourished together.
