LELY, Sir PETER, born at Soest in
1617, died in
London, Nov. 30,
1680. Real name
Peter van der
Faes. Flemish
school; portrait
painter, pupil of
Pieter de Grebber
in Haarlem,
but on coming
to England with
William of Orange, in 1643, he so closely
studied the manner of Van Dyck, who had
just died, that his earlier portraits often
approach the great master's style. For
thirty years he was the most popular portrait
painter in England, and amassed a
large fortune; nominated court-painter and
knighted by Charles II. His portraits are
of elegant conception, clear and warm colouring;
hands especially finely drawn. In
his later period he degenerated; his treatment
grew superficial, his colouring cold
and heavy, the female portraits mannered,
with the languishing expression of the
eyes affected by the ladies of the time.
Works: Dukes of Albemarle and Buckingham;
Duchess of Cleveland, May Da-
