His father presented him as a child prodigy in his inn "Black Bear" in Devizes in England, where the young Thomas drew pencil portraits of the guests. A little later he began to paint in pastel. He had largely taught himself his drawing skills. When he turned ten, the family moved to Bath and Lawrence began an apprenticeship with William Hoare. He contributed to the family's upkeep with his chalk portraits of distinguished people in his younger years. While studying at the Royal Academy of Arts, he won the Society of Arts silver palette for a chalk drawing after Raphael's "Transfiguration." He tried his hand at history painting and also began to paint in oils. But his greatest talent remained his portraits.
Meanwhile, he lived in London and at the age of 20 was appointed to Windsor, where he painted the portrait of Queen Charlotte, which became very famous. Not only his extraordinary talent, but also his good looks and charm helped him make a name for himself early on. His reputation grew so quickly that he became a member of the Royal Academy at the age of 24. His career as the most popular portrait painter of his time took off. When Sir Joshua Reynolds died, Lawrence was given his position as court painter to King George III. His most generous patron was Prince Regent George IV, who knighted him and sent him abroad, including to Aachen and Vienna, where he produced portraits of all the important figures who had defeated Napoleon for the Waterloo Chamber at Windsor. His work became a unique historical document. Upon his return to England, he was elected President of the Royal Academy, a post he held until his death.
Lawrence was never married. He is believed to have had a prolonged affair with Caroline of Brunswick, who was one of his favorite subjects. His other love affairs, which became the subject of several books, did not end happily either. Although his paintings earned him a lot of money, Lawrence never became wealthy. A passionate art collector, he invested a lot of money in his collection of drawings, which is one of the best ever assembled. He also owned a collection of Greek sculptures known as the Elgin Marbles. He was instrumental in the creation of the National Gallery, which today owns his artwork. Through the reproduction of his portraits in engravings and etchings, they experienced widespread distribution. Lawrence works in the classical style, such as his once celebrated "Satan," are now almost forgotten. The rest of his life's work is also viewed with much criticism today. He is accused of superficiality and softness. Moreover, he was not diverse enough. Nevertheless, his reputation as the most important portrait painter of the 18th and 19th centuries remains. Lawrence died at the age of 60 at the height of his creative powers.
