The Thesis is devoted to stylistic techniques of Gainsborough's works. Gainsborough is considered to be one of the most prominent artists of the XУШ c. There has been made an attempt in the Ukrainian art studies to unite such subjects as the message of a particular piece of art and the corresponding cultural realias of its time. Having investigated Gainsborough's works with the help of cultural approach the author has concluded that Gainsborough's stylistic cohesion is not dependent on any other style of his time. Thе author considered "Gainsborough's style"to be unicque as it reflects the achievements of his inventive age, which includes the Industrial Revolution, the Age of Enlightenment, scientific inventions and new outlook of the Universe. This has been the first attemp in the Ukranien art studies to investigate Gainsborough's vision.
