SUMMARY:Russian Grand Tourists in 18th Century Europe
DESCRIPTION:From the middle of the Eighteenth Century\, the Russian nobility began to travel for pleasure and education in Western Europe.  Although the experiences of these ‘Grand Tourists’ were similar in some ways to those of their English counterparts\, Russian factors presented special obstacles and incentives. \nIn this talk\, we will meet a number of notable Russian Grand Tourists\, learn the story behind their trips\, and look at some of their remarkable ‘souvenirs’ that despite Napoleon\, the Revolution of 1917 and World War 2 are still visible in Russia today. \nIn addition\, there will be a short digression about The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow\, which is holding an exhibition featuring a number of works from Gainsborough’s House later this year. \n£12 Coffee and Pastries included \nTo book please contact Gainsborough’s House on T: 01787 372958 or mail@gainsborough.org \n

SUMMARY:Book Launch - Simon Edge 'A Right Royal Face Off'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book signing of Simon Edge’s latest book A Right Royal Face Off \n“A humorous approach seemed all the more fitting given that the events of A Right Royal Face-Off\, which will be published in July 2019\, take place in the Georgian era. This was the age of fops\, dandies and courtesans\, an anything-goes epoch of pre-Victorian decadence which was a heyday – think Swift\, Fielding\, Sterne\, Thackeray and Austen – of comic or satirical literature.”\nSimon Edge \n“One part mystery\, one part history\, one part satire\, and wholly entertaining. A hilarious portrait of the artist as a frustrated man\, Simon Edge’s novel is a glorious comedy of painting and pretension”\nRyan O’Neill \n“I loved this book\, a laugh-out-loud contemporary satire skewering today’s tired reality TV formats married with a tale of vicious rivalry in the world of 18th-century royal portraiture. Simon Edge manages to pin asses’ ears onto the lot of them\, to great comic effect”\nLiz Trenow \nCopies of the book will be available for the author to sign.\nFree event with refreshments.\nTo book: contact Gainsborough’s House 01787 372958 or liz@gainsborough.org \nhttps://www.simon-edge.com/single-post/2018/12/16/Coming-next-a-comedy-about-Thomas-Gainsborough

SUMMARY:Buy a Brick: Help build the future for Gainsborough’s House
DESCRIPTION:Buy A Brick For Our New Galleries and Crinkle-Crankle Wall\nGainsborough’s House is undertaking a major capital project to establish a national centre for Gainsborough so more people can enjoy the special setting of the artist’s childhood home and garden. The project will double the size of the museum and refurbish and re-display the historic buildings to show more of Gainsborough’s art and to sustain and protect the museum for future generations. \nWith your support\, we will use traditional handmade clay bricks from a local maker which will offer a stunning addition to Sudbury’s conservation area. The new wing will house three exhibition spaces and a creative learning studio with views over the Suffolk countryside. A distinctive crinkle-crankle wall will provide an attractive boundary for the garden\, with its giant 400-year-old Mulberry tree\, alive when Gainsborough was a boy. \nBy sponsoring a brick for £20 you will help to make this possible. The project will use thousands of bricks\, so every sponsor will help and everyone who buys a brick will be thanked in a special commemorative book. \n“Sponsoring bricks is a great way to get involved. These bricks are a local material\, so we are supporting Suffolk industry as well helping to build a beautiful feature for the site. Do join in and perhaps sponsor a brick for each member of your family\,” \nMark Bills\, Director\, Gainsborough’s House. \nHow You Can Get Involved\nIf you would like to buy a brick/s\, or perhaps give one for each member of your family or for friends\, please email mail@gainsborough.org or call 01787 372958 \nDOWNLOAD OUR BUY A BRICK LEAFLET (PDF) \nor buy a brick online at JUST GIVING \nThank you for your support.
