All the leading schools are represented by the finest and most characteristic of their works. The museum boasts some of the well-known masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Lucas Cranach, Watteau, Van Dyck, Matisse, and other painters.

6. Экскурсия по залам Британского искусства. Знакомство с великими английскими художниками (Гейнсборо, Рейнольдс, Морланд и Хогарт).

The teacher: Now it is the time to walk around the halls of the British art and try to know about celebrated masters of English painting: Gainsborough, Reynolds, Morland and Hogarth. In the first hall we can see “The Portrait of the Lady in Blue” by Thomas Gainsborough. Our guide prepared some information about this fascinating portrait painter. (Ученики выступают с заранее подготовленными докладами о художниках).

Thomas Gainsborough. (Слайд 10). (1727 – 1788)

T.Gainsborough was an English portrait and landscape painter, the most outstanding English painter of the 18^th century. He was the youngest son of John Gainsborough, a maker of woolen goods.

When he was 13, he persuaded his father to send him to London to study landscape painting. Gainsborough worked as an assistant to Hubert Gravelot, a French painter, engraver and an important figure in London art circles at the time.

Fairly soon he began to be noticed by the royal family. In 1781 he was commissioned to paint the King and Queen.

He died in 1788 and was buried in Kew churchyard.

Gainsborough alone among the great portrait painters of the era also devoted serious attention to landscapes. His comments on his own work and methods as well as on some of the old masters are very revealing and throw considerable light on contemporary views of art.

Sir Joshua Reynolds. (Слайд 11). (1723 – 1792)

Joshua Reynolds was the most successful portrait painter of his day in England as well as a distinguished member of London’s intellectual society.

Reynolds was born on July 16, 1723, in Plymouth, Devon, England. His father, a clergyman, conducted a grammar school. Reynolds was one of his pupils, but he preferred sketching on the margins of his Latin exercises to studying. He also copied drawings at every chance. Apprenticed at the age of 17 to Thomas Hudson, a popular London portrait painter, Reynolds studied with him for three years. The next few years he divided between Plymouth and London. In 1752 he returned to London. There he established himself as a portrait painter, and success came quickly. Nearly every distinguished English family of the time sat for a Reynolds portrait. In 1768 Reynolds became President of the newly founded Royal Academy, and the next year he was knighted by King George III. Reynolds died in London on February 23, 1792.

Reynolds’ portraits give his subjects an appearance of action, though he posed them in attitudes that imitated the Italian masters. His use of vivid colors also reflects his study in Italy. Unfortunately many of his pictures have faded badly with time.

George Morland. (Слайд 12)

George Morland was born on the 26^th of June, 1763 in London. He was a son of the painter H.R.Morland, to whom he was first apprenticed for seven years in 1777. He painted sentimental genre scenes. In 1786 he married Anne, the sister of William Ward who engraved sixty-nine of Morland’s pictures and who married Morland’s sister. In the 1790s he turned to rustic genre, but his later years were clouded by reckless self-indulgence.

Morland painted rural life. Nothing quite like his scenes of peasant and country life had ever been seen before. Perhaps another quality of Morland’s art may have contributed to its popularity; it was above all things English; it is quite impossible to mistake Morland’s men and women for other than English men and women, or his scenes for scenes outside England.

William Hogarth. (Слайд 13). (1697 – 1764)

William Hogarth was an English painter and engraver. He trained as an engraver in the Rococo tradition, and by 1720 was established in London independently as an engraver on copper of billheads and book illustrations. In his spare time he studied painting, first at the St.Martin’s Lane Academy and later under Sir James Thornhill, whose daughter he married in 1729.

Hogarth, however, was much more than a preacher in paint. His satire was directed as much at pedantry and affectation as at immorality, and he saw himself to some extent as a defender of native common sense against a fashion for French and Italian mannerisms.

Hogarth was far and away the most important British artist of his generation. He was equally outstanding as a painter and engraver, and by the force of his pugnacious personality as well as by the quality and originality of his work he freed British art from its domination by foreign artists. Because so much of his work has a “literary” element, his qualities as a painter have often been overlooked, but his more informal pictures in particular show that his brushwork could live up to his inventive genius.
