Selected as a Book of the Year in The Times, Sunday Times, and Observer, John Carey's novel is a compulsively readable masterpiece that seems to turn the pages itself. The Sunday Times praised it as "B rings one of the very greatest [artists] vividly to life," while Literary Review hailed it as "a shockingly loose, libidinous manner and a volatility that could lead him to slash his paintings."
James Hamilton's biography, Gainsborough: A Portrait, delves into the artist's life, revealing him in various contexts. Born in Suffolk, he was transported to the heights of fashion in London, where he honed his craft under the shadow of Hogarth. He became a society portrait painter in Bath and London, earning huge sums by charming the right people into his studio.
Through fresh insights into original sources, Hamilton's book transforms our understanding of this fascinating man and sheds light on the century that bore him. It is a must-read for anyone interested in art, history, and the human psyche.
