Thomas Gainsborough
Quotations



"I'm sick of Portraits, and wish very much to take my viol-da-gam and walk off to some sweet village, where I can paint landskips and enjoy the fag end of life in quietness and ease."
 
"We are all going to heaven and Van Dyck is of the company."
- Gainsborough's last words
 
"Painting and punctuality mix like oil and vinegar."
