		CHARLES II [Charles II] 1630-85, king of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1660-85), eldest surviving son of Charles I and Henrietta Maria.
		Charles also favored religious toleration (largely because of his own leanings toward Roman Catholicism), but the strongly Anglican Cavalier Parliament, which first convened in 1661, passed the series of statutes known as the Clarendon Code, which was designed to strike at religious nonconformity.
		Charles was forced to rescind (1672) his second declaration of indulgence toward dissenters, to approve (1673) the Test Act, and to sign (1674) a peace with the Dutch.

	National Gallery, London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Despite having been founded without an existing royal collection on which to build, and housed in buildings often deemed inadequate for their purpose, the National Gallery has grown to be a collection of international renown since its foundation in 1824.
		It was shaped mainly by its early directors, including Sir Charles Lock Eastlake, and by private donations, which comprise two thirds of the collection.
		Building on the site had been delayed after Prince Charles infamously denounced a still evolving design for a modernist extension to the gallery by the architects Ahrends, Burton and Koralek as "a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend".

	Russian London / Pastoral masterpieces from the age of Tolstoy come to National Gallery /
		These are wonderful paintings by great artists, who will be completely unknown to most of our visitors," said Charles Saumarez Smith, the director of the National Gallery.
		Mr Saumarez Smith still yearns for the hazy golden light of Harvesting in Summer, by Alexei Venetsianov.
		The painting is unusual because most in the exhibition have never left Russia before - they were painted by Russian artists for Russian middle-class collectors - the imperial court bought higher status, less beloved, western works.

	The Building of Castle Howard Book
		Carlisle's changing position as a patron and politician accounts for this: the estate shifts, in Saumarez Smith's opinion, from being a an opulent panorama to an introverted retirement home for the earl, whom, in his dotage and increasingly unhappy free time, commenced autonomous study in matters of contemporary religious thought.
		This, therefore, effected his decision to build a grand mausoleum rather than allow his remains to fall into the hands of what his lengthy (and only) poem preserved at Castle Howard, described as corpulent and corrupt Anglican clergmen.
		Unlike other studies of 18th Century British art which read as prosaic 'case-studies' (especially in the case of portrait painting, all of which make the same point), Saumarez Smith's book is an autonomous and compelling analysis of specific buildings and their conception, not a dour treatise from which established generalities are laboriously combed out.
