They coincided with the establishment of the Royal Academy, of which Gainsborough was a founding member, and the city's ascendance as a centre for the arts. This is a meticulously researched and readable account of how Gainsborough designed his home and studio and maintained a growing schedule of influential patrons, making a place for himself in the art world of late-18th-century London.
