EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning portrayal of Barbara Villiers, Duchess of Cleveland as St. Catherine of Alexandria, painted by Peter Lely between 1665 and 1670. The oil on canvas artwork measures 125.7x100 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Barbara Villiers, also known as Countess of Castlemaine and Duchess of Cleveland, was famously recognized as the mistress of Charles II during the late 17th century. In this exquisite portrait, she embodies the role of St. Catherine with grace and allure. Dressed in an extravagant decollete gown that accentuates her beauty, Barbara holds a sword symbolizing her strength and determination as St. Catherine. A palm branch rests delicately in her other hand, representing victory over adversity. The artist skillfully captures Barbara's confident swagger while maintaining an air of elegance befitting a duchess. Her piercing gaze draws viewers into the painting, revealing both vulnerability and resilience beneath her regal exterior. Lely's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate lacework adorning Barbara's dress to the soft play of light on her face. This masterpiece not only immortalizes one woman's journey but also serves as a testament to Lely's talent for capturing beauty on canvas. As we admire this remarkable piece from English history, we are reminded that art has the power to transcend time and tell stories that resonate across centuries.
