The reception of Thomas Gainsborough's Blue Boy from its origins to
its appearances in contemporary visual culture reveals how its
popularity was achieved and maintained by diverse audiences and in
varied venues. Performative manifestations resulted in
contradictory characterizations of the painted youth as an
aristocrat or a "regular fellow," as masculine or feminine, or as
heterosexual or gay. In private and public spaces where viewers saw
the actual painting and where living and rendered replicas
circulated, Gainsborough's painting was often the centerpiece where
dominant and subordinate classes met, gender identities were
enacted, and sexuality was implicitly or overtly expressed.
