EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Edward Montagu, the 1st Earl of Sandwich, during the mid-17th century. Painted by renowned artist Peter Lely, this oil on canvas print showcases Montagu in all his aristocratic glory. Standing tall and proud, he is depicted wearing a magnificent satin cloak adorned with intricate details and a chain of office around his neck. Montagu's formal attire reflects his high status within English society at that time. His long hair cascades down to his shoulders, adding an air of elegance to his overall appearance. The carefully arranged cord and sash further emphasize his position as one of the first members of the aristocracy. The backdrop behind Montagu hints at a chaotic era known as the Restoration period in England's history. This was a time when political turmoil gave way to social change and cultural renaissance. Despite this chaos, Montagu exudes confidence and composure. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art through generous funding from Paul Mellon Fund in USA, this painting serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into the world of 17th-century England while admiring Lely's masterful brushwork.
