Ah, Thomas Gainsborough, the 18th-century painter with a love for landscapes but a life spent painting portraits. This artistic genius was a founding member of the Royal Academy, yet refreshingly unacademic, preferring feathery brushstrokes and capturing personality over stuffy tradition. He was a man of contradictions: a devoted family man who talked bawdy with the King. Rumor has it the young Gainsborough forged holiday notes from his teacher to go sketching, leading his father to predict he'd be a genius, or possibly hanged. Later, he allegedly constructed miniature landscapes from broccoli, coal, and mirrors to paint from. Another tale, likely apocryphal, suggests a bout of venereal disease was bested not by doctors, but by his daughter’s prescription of six glasses of port. While these stories may be tall tales, they paint a picture of a truly original character.
