湯瑪斯·古奇

English

多產的英國動物畫家

托馬斯·古奇是一位英國藝術家，也專攻動物繪畫，尤其是狗和馬的肖像畫。沒有藝術家的肖像留存下來。 托馬斯·古奇約於1750年出生於倫敦，他一生的大部分時間都在那裡度過；他於1802年在漢普郡的林德赫斯特去世。關於他的家庭生活的細節寥寥無幾。 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貴族歡迎且多產的藝術家，曾多次在皇家藝術學院展出（共提交76幅畫作）。
