Reading

Read the description of the picture “Mr. and Mrs. Andrew” of one of the most famous painters of 18th century Britain, Thomas Gainsborough. Pay attention and practice the vocabulary underlined.

 

 

Mr. and Mrs. Andrews (1750) is an oil painting by Thomas Gainsborough. The picture combines the two genres – portraiture and landscape. The artist placed the figures against the landscape background. In the foreground one can see a couple in front of a stout oak tree – the husband is standing and the wife is sitting. A real, quiet valley stretches out behind them: everything here is unmistakably English.

Robert Andrews is having his shotgun under his arm as his dog is looking up at him. He is standing proudly in the middle of his huge estate. His wife is sitting on a wooden bench. The play of light, movement and the choice of the other colours make the light blue of the informal hunting dress spring to life, fresh and clean as the nature around them. Her pose resembles one from a book of etiquette.

Our eyes are drawn from a field with recently harvested golden corn to meadows of grazing sheep, a stand of trees and the hills in the distance. The clouds touch the land at the horizon. The small tower in the left background of the piece is a church.
