In the rich and nuanced world of art, this is filed under "Rococo".
If that's the case, then Gainsborough has got to be my favorite Rococo painter of them all.
After a slow start compared to the rest of Europe, this is when painting in the UK was reaching its' stride, was on the cusp of producing a truly monumental figure in the history of art, and who just might be the greatest of them all: J.M.W. Turner.
