Dorset County Museum, Dorchester, United Kingdom.
The portrait of John Bragge was painted during the first decade of Gainsborough's residence at Bath, where he had transferred his practice after failing to secure sufficient employment in his native Suffolk.
The clearly delineated features of Bragge, accentuated by the strong lighting of the head and an accomplished breadth and firmness of modelling, are characteristic of Gainsborough's portraiture at this period in his career. John Bragge was a Dorsetshire countryman who married in Bath in 1762. He rebuilt the family home, Sadborow House, and became a JP and Deputy Lieutenant of the county. This portrait is the first Gainsborough acquired by the museum.
Our artists reproduce this fine art composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes fine art oil painting so sought after for a gallery wall.
Expect subtle, hand-made variation rather than factory uniformity. Each fine art canvas is painted with oils, allowed to cure properly, and inspected before it is approved for shipment.
Wondering where fine art oil painting looks best? Try a gallery wall mantel, a dining room sideboard, or a hallway gallery wall. The fine art subject reads clearly from a distance and rewards close viewing up near.
