Gainsborough’s House and Philip de László, Master of Elegance

The visit to Gainsborough’s house, the childhood home of Thomas Gainsborough, will look at the new gallery space tracing Gainsborough’s career as well as the series of rooms in the eighteenth-century house dedicated to the history of Sudbury and its silk industry, John Constable, Gainsborough and music and a small exhibition looking at the book illustrations of Hubert-Francois Gravelot. The special exhibition, Philip de László, Master of Elegance, will feature rarely-seen works of this portrait painter who was celebrated across Europe.
