Painting Description
Henry Howard by Sir Peter Lely is a distinguished portrait that exemplifies the artistic prowess of Sir Peter Lely, a prominent painter of the 17th century. Sir Peter Lely, born in 1618 in Soest, Westphalia, was a Dutch-born English painter who became the leading portraitist in England after the death of Anthony van Dyck. Lely's career flourished during the English Civil War and the Restoration, and he was appointed as the Principal Painter in Ordinary to King Charles II.
The portrait of Henry Howard, who was the 6th Duke of Norfolk, is a testament to Lely's skill in capturing the elegance and nobility of his subjects. Henry Howard, born in 1628, was a significant figure in English history, known for his political influence and contributions to the arts and sciences. The painting is believed to have been created during the Restoration period, a time when Lely's style was characterized by its refined elegance, rich textures, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow.
Lely's portrait of Howard is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the lifelike representation of the Duke's features. The artist's use of a soft, yet vibrant color palette, combined with his ability to render luxurious fabrics and intricate details, highlights the opulence and status of his sitter. The portrait not only serves as a visual record of Henry Howard's appearance but also reflects the cultural and social milieu of the Restoration court.
The painting is part of Lely's broader oeuvre, which includes numerous portraits of the English aristocracy, and it exemplifies the Baroque style that was prevalent during the period. Lely's influence on English portraiture was profound, and his works remain highly regarded for their artistic quality and historical significance. The portrait of Henry Howard by Sir Peter Lely continues to be celebrated as a masterpiece of 17th-century portraiture, offering insight into the life and times of one of England's notable historical figures.
