托马斯·古奇

English

多产的英国动物画家

托马斯·古奇是一位英国艺术家，也专攻动物绘画，尤其是狗和马的肖像画。没有艺术家的肖像留存下来。 托马斯·古奇约于1750年出生于伦敦，他一生的大部分时间都在那里度过；他于1802年在汉普郡的林德赫斯特去世。关于他的家庭生活的细节寥寥无几。 More famous for his work depicting animals, Gooch did also paint images of those that owned the horses and dogs he more readily depicted. He famously carried out a study of the life of a racehorse as a set of six images, depicting the animal's misuse after a life of racing as a thoroughbred. The Life and Death of a Racehorse, completed in 1792 was a popular work and reproduced as aquatint prints and often accompanied with a thought-provoking text on animal cruelty. 古奇是一位深受土地贵族欢迎且多产的艺术家，曾多次在皇家艺术学院展出（共提交76幅画作）。
