Thomas Gainsborough

Thomas Gainsborough was an English painter of portraits and landscapes. He painted a portrait of Ace that would hang in Windsor Castle in 1988. (TV: Silver Nemesis)

Scaroth also acquired some of Gainsborough's paintings. (TV: City of Death) The Third Doctor noted what looked like a genuine Gainsborough in the waiting room for a clinic owned by the "Chief Administrator", who was actually the Monk. (AUDIO: The Rise of the New Humans)

In October 1987, Alek Zenos cited Gainsborough among others as an example of Britain's rich culture of artists. (AUDIO: We Are The Daleks)

Frustrated with Vincent van Gogh's impressionistic rendition of the invisible monster, the Eleventh Doctor said that this would never happen with Gainsborough or another "proper" painter. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)
