EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Peter Lely, a renowned Dutch-born English Baroque era painter. The image, captured by artist John Corner in 1825, beautifully captures the essence of this influential figure in the arts. Sir Peter Lely (1618-1680) is depicted wearing a wig, a common fashion statement during his time. His intense gaze and confident posture reflect his mastery as an artist. Known for his exceptional portraits, Lely's works were highly sought after by the elite of England. The engraving from John Corners' Portraits of Celebrated Painters series transports us back to the 17th century when Lely was at the peak of his career. This monochrome portrait exudes elegance and sophistication, capturing both the spirit of its subject and the artistic style of that era. As we admire this print today, it serves as a reminder of Sir Peter Lely's significant contributions to British art history. His ability to capture not only physical likeness but also inner emotions made him one of the most celebrated painters of his time. This print is a testament to both Corner's skillful craftsmanship as an artist and Lely's enduring legacy as one of England's greatest painters. It allows us to appreciate their work while providing insight into an important period in art history –the Baroque era– where beauty met grandeur on canvas.
