If it is she will tip the wink to Madam Fortune, and you'll be kicked down-stairs. " Probably if poor Gainsborough could ever have anticipated the insertion of these letters in his biography he would ha\ e r. I:)OR\riIICAL SKETCH. . R >3 paid more attention to style. He evidently did not write letters intended for the public. Such things as these are the little blemishes, the faults and eccentricities, -which bring genius down t j the ordinary human level. We owe a debt of gratitude to Gainsbor...ough, and as Englishmen we should be proud of him. His genius was essentially of native production. He never went abroad to study, and there never was an artist who was freer from foreign influences in his art; and from first to last his highest ambition was to be a faithful painter of English scenery. His life resembled, in its calm serenity, one of the peaceful land- scapes he loved so well to paint, and if a cloud occasionally darkened the scene, as for instance when the fussy patronage of Thicknesse was too predominant, or when fancy seemed to hint that the Hanging Committee of the Royal Academy slighted him, the shadow would speedily pass away, leaving the simple, soft-* hearted, emotional painter-musician happy and content in large- minded devotion to his art.
