Painting Description
"Nell Gwynne (1650–1687) 2" is a portrait painting by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent Dutch painter whose career flourished in England during the 17th century. Lely, born Pieter van der Faes, was a court painter to Charles II and is renowned for his portraits of the English aristocracy, including several of the king's mistresses. Nell Gwynne, often known as Nell Gwyn, was one of the most famous of Charles II's mistresses and a celebrated actress of the Restoration stage.
The painting is one of several portraits Lely made of Gwynne, capturing her vivacious character and beauty that charmed the English court and the public alike. In this particular work, Gwynne is typically depicted with sensuous charm and an informal, yet alluring elegance that was characteristic of Lely's approach to portraiture. His style was influenced by the relaxed elegance of Van Dyck, but also incorporated a softer, more voluptuous quality that became highly fashionable during the Restoration period.
The portrait is notable for its historical significance as well as its artistic merit. As a subject, Nell Gwynne is emblematic of the social changes of the time, rising from humble beginnings to become a beloved figure in the royal court. Lely's portrayal of her reflects the cultural and aesthetic values of the Restoration era, where art and theater flourished after the austere years of the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell.
The painting is part of a larger collection of works by Lely that depict the women of the court, often referred to as the "Windsor Beauties," which showcased the fashionable and influential figures of the day. "Nell Gwynne (1650–1687) 2" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Sir Peter Lely and a captivating representation of one of the most colorful personalities of 17th-century England.
