	Portrait of King Charles II
		The friendship between Sir Peter Lely and Mary Beale enabled her, famously, to observe the master in the act of painting — a remarkable privilege — in order to study his technique, and she is known to have copied his work upon many occasions.
		This portrait of King Charles II in armour is painted after a portrait type by Sir Peter Lely, datable to the mid 1670s.
		On this scale she painted both original compositions — such as her own and her husband’s portraits c.1670, and Lady Leigh as a shepherdess (Manor House Museum, Bury St, Edmund’s) — and copies of portraits by her friend Sir Peter Lely.

	Peter Lely, Sir Biography / Biography of Peter Lely, Sir Biography
		Peter Lely was born on Oct. 14, 1618, at Soest in Westphalia; his family was Flemish.
		Sir Peter Lely (1618-1680), a German-born painter who worked in England, was the most famous baroque portrait painter at the court of Charles II.
		Lely's mature style in the female court portrait is best seen in the series of 10 portraits painted as a set (1662-1665) and known as the "Windsor Beauties." By the late 1660s his work was in such demand that he frequently utilized studio assistants even in the execution of the original version of a portrait.

	Biography
		According to Houbraken, Peter came to be known as Lely, the Dutch word for 'lily', because his father was born in a house in The Hague with 'a lily on the facade'.
		Peter Lely died on 30 November 1680 with his palette in his hand while painting a portrait of the Duchess of Somerset.
		Lely was the most technically proficient painter in England after the death of Van Dyck.

		Lely was a favoured portraitist of both Oliver Cromwell and Charles II and a very rich man. His Kew house (sited near the present Herbarium) was only one of those that he owned.
		That was inherited by Lely's son who was a prime mover in the building of St Anne's church on Kew Green where Mayer is buried.
		He left the house to his only son but this was complicated by the fact that the lad was illegitimate and a minor when Sir Peter died.

	Portrait of a Gentleman, thought to be the actor Henry Harris c. 1660
		Sir Peter Lely’s character and talent dominated the art world of the second half of the seventeenth century in England.
		The 1660s mark an important transition in Lely’s technique, at a time when his style had already begun to be heavily influenced by Van Dyck through studying works in the collections of patrons such as the Earl of Pembroke.
		This sense of drama, captured throughout with the mastery of drawing that made Lely the most accomplished draughtsman after Van Dyck, ensures that we are fastened with a piercing gaze in a portrait of presence and power that few other artists — even across Europe — could have achieved at that time.

	Lely, Peter - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Lely, Peter
		Lely painted Charles I during his captivity at Hampton Court, and worked throughout the Commonwealth era, though reverting to a plainer manner as in his portrait of Oliver Cromwell.
		This information should not be considered complete, up to date, and is not intended to be used in place of a visit, consultation, or advice of a legal, medical, or any other professional.
		However, he is mainly associated with the Restoration period when his output was huge, his replicas alone employing a full-time army of assistants.

		After the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Lely dominated the artistic scene, and his evocation of the court of Charles II is as potent and enduring as was van Dyck’s of the halcyon days before the English Civil War.
		Although Lely’s reputation was seriously damaged by portraits that came from his studio under his name but without much of his participation, his development of an efficient studio practice is of great importance in the history of British portrait painting.
		Between van Dyck’s death in 1641 and the emergence of William Hogarth in the 1730s, Lely and his successor, Godfrey Kneller, were the leading portrait painters in England.

		Lely, originally known as Pieter van der Faes, worked in the 1630s in Pieter de Grebber's studio in Haarlem and arrived in England in 1643.
		The smoothly painted portraits by Lely and his studio are highly attractive for being decorative, rich in colour and full of extravagance.
		At first, Lely painted small mythological motifs and genre paintings but soon changed to portraits.

		The Percys were Lely's important patrons, Lord Northumberland's father was one of the first Englishmen to have commissioned his paintings.
		In the summary catalogue of 1936, the painting was registered as a replica of the portrait of the Countess of Northumberland painted by Lely around 1670.
		It is not surprising that the painting was attributed in Sweden to Dahl, who followed the Dyckian tradition of portraiture in England, inheriting from Lely his elegant compositions and cast of figures.

	Fred R. Kline Gallery, Santa Fe, NM - Artist: Circle of Theodore van Thulden
		In Sir Peter Lely, Self Portrait, possibly circa early 1650s, (Stainton and White, Drawing in England, p.124), close affinities with the Page are found in the exact careful treatment of hair, the similar pose of looking back over a shoulder with arm bent, and a refined sensitivity in the facial features.
		Lely’s specific treatment of hands, drapery, shadow, outlining, hatching, and poised processional movement in the Page is exactly similar in these stylistic details to Lely’s masterful Garter drawings on blue-grey paper(see the rich selection of Garter drawings in Millar, Lely and Stainton and White, Drawing in England).
		In Portrait of a Woman, possibly circa 1650s, (Millar, Lely, #79; p.79), the close resemblance of the woman’s face to the face of the Page suggests a kindred relationship; both drawings echo Lely’s notable feminine facial style with their heavy-lidded eyes and sensitive lips.

	A Guide to Windsor Castle in c.1811 - The Upper Ward and State Apartments - The Royal Windsor Web Site
		Peter receives his Master's orders on his knees, with an admiration mixed with a more particular attention; the words used on that occasion are expressed by our Saviour's pointing to a flock of sheep, and St. Peter's having just received two keys.
		The exotic birds, and large fowl placed on the shore in the foreground, have a sea-wildness in them, and, as their food was fish, contribute to express the business in hand, which was fishing; and being thus placed on the shore, prevent the heaviness which that part would otherwise have had.
		Over the door is a bust of Venus in black marble, and on the front of the staircase is an oval, which gives a view to the back staircase, which is adorned with the story of Meleager, killing the wild boar of Aetolia, and giving the head to his mistress Atalanta.

		Both books contain black and white reproductions of the three known contemporary images of Aphra Behn; an engraving of a portrait thought to be by Mary Beale; and an engraving of a lost portrait by John Riley, and a portrait by Peter Lely, or perhaps his student, John Greenhill.
		Lely, however, has placed the eyes well above this point as may be done by an unsophisticated or naive painter.
		In an effort to secure better reproductions, and in color, Bill Moffett wrote to the National Portrait Gallery in London asking if the Lely and the Beale portraits were extant and for their locations.
