English painting in Victorian era
As for the historical context, the agricultural and industrial revolution that occurred at the time, a great economic and social and technological development in England stands out, since the development of coal mining through the steam pump occurred, it was introducedThe use of Coque, increased the production of industries, improved transport, urban populations, etc.. Regarding the two great painters, we talked about Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792) and Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788).
Regarding one of Reynodls’s works, one could talk about the portrait of Lady Jane Halliday, because in him you can see a beautiful woman in an interesting pose, in my opinion, like yearning for something. The story of this woman Lady Jane Tollemache, tells that she was the youngest daughter of the fourth count of Dyart. In 1771 Gretna Green was escaped with her first husband, John Delap Halliday, son of the owner of a Scottish plantation in the Caribbean and a major of the army.

To highlight is the morning walk, in the recounts a marriage on a walk through a park, he counts as a boy walked with his wife, to be accurate, William Hallet with Elizabeth and walks with them a dog named Lulu de Pomerania. The park is a painted decoration, such as those that photographers usually use in Victoriana.

This sensitivity together with the landscape, is a distinctive feature of the painter and announces in turn the development of a genre that would have great success in the iglaterra of the romantic period.
On the other hand, other differences or similarities are that both were not born in London but their profession took place in that city. On the one hand, Reynolds dedicated himself to traveling to many places, unlike Thomas, who never did it, because of this it could be said that Reynolds was more sociable and had many intellectual friends, on the contrary Thomas would prefer to rely on relating to themusicians. Without a doubt, this implies that Reynodls was more intellectual and Thomas, intuitive.Despite them, there were two great artists of the time-
