"Charles II 1630-85 as Patron of the Royal Society" is a notable painting by the English artist John Evelyn (1620–1706), who was a member of the Royal Society and a contemporary of King Charles II. The artwork is significant for its depiction of the monarch as a patron of the sciences and the arts, reflecting the cultural and intellectual milieu of the Restoration period in England.

The painting portrays King Charles II, who reigned from 1660 to 1685, in a stately pose, surrounded by symbols and figures representing the Royal Society, which was founded in 1660 and received its royal charter in 1662. As a patron of the society, Charles II played a crucial role in promoting scientific inquiry and experimentation, which were central to the society's mission. The Royal Society was a pioneering institution in the development of modern science, and its patronage by the king underscored the importance of knowledge and discovery during his reign.

Evelyn's work captures the essence of the era's intellectual spirit and the king's involvement in fostering a supportive environment for scientific advancement. The painting not only serves as a historical record of the relationship between the monarchy and the Royal Society but also as a testament to the broader engagement of the arts in celebrating and documenting the progress of science.

As an artist, diarist, and intellectual, John Evelyn was well-placed to create such a commemorative piece. His connections with the Royal Society and his own interests in horticulture, environmentalism, and the arts made him a key figure in the cultural landscape of 17th-century England. "Charles II 1630-85 as Patron of the Royal Society" remains an important work for its artistic merit and its representation of the symbiotic relationship between power, art, and the burgeoning scientific movement of the time.
