EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Ralph Bankes, a prominent figure from the 17th century. Painted by the renowned artist Peter Lely between 1660 and 1665, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 117.5x98.5 cm. The portrait captures Sir Ralph's commanding presence as he gazes confidently into the distance. Sir Ralph is depicted with long flowing hair, which was a popular fashion statement during that era. However, it is not just his appearance that catches our attention; nestled at his side is an adorable mongrel dog, serving as a loyal companion to this distinguished gentleman. The inclusion of the dog in this portrait adds an endearing touch and provides insight into Sir Ralph's character. It suggests his affection for animals and perhaps symbolizes loyalty or companionship. This remarkable artwork now resides in the Yale Center for British Art thanks to the generosity of Paul Mellon Fund in the USA. As we admire this image captured by Fine Art Finder from www. bridgemanimages. com, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - capturing both elegance and humanity within one frame.
