Round 3: Tossup 17

Swagger portraits in the “grand manner” became popular in this country after an artist published the treatise Discourses on Art. In a double portrait from this country, a dog, a man holding a rifle and his wife in a blue dress appear adjacent (-5[1])to a pastoral scene. In a painting from this country, (-5[1])figures representing Pity and Terror appear behind a model portraying the Tragic Muse, (*) Sarah Siddons. A painter from this country went against his rival’s advice with a portrait of a boy on a yellow background who wears all blue. For 10 points, name this home country of Thomas Gainsborough (10[1])and Joshua Reynolds, who founded the Royal Academy of Art. ■END■ (10[4])
