Thomas Gaugain

1748 - 1805
BiographyBorn in France, Gaugain moved to England at a young age. In London, he studied engraving techniques under Richard Houston. Thomas Gaugain quickly distinguished himself as one of the finest engravers of the period and received commissions to engrave plates after the designs of such artists as Morland, Northcote, Wheatley and others. Cymbeline. Act Three, Scene Six, (Before the Cave of Belarius-- Enter Imogen, in Boy's Clothes.) is one of his largest works of art and is brilliantly rendered with strong tonal values.
