As I continued, there were several such pages which rendered reading of the biography pretty tough.<\/p>\n<p>So I looked at the pictures.  English portraiture.  Pretty boring stuff.  I did come away with the fact that England didn&#8217;t really produce a lot of known painters and that they liked portraits.<\/p>\n<p>I also learned that my sainted mother did a report on Gainsborough in the third grade, ca. 1957, and remembered one of his paintings.
