EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Aphra Behn, a woman of many talents and accomplishments. Painted by Peter Lely, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 76.8x64.1 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, USA. Aphra Behn lived from 1640 to 1689 and led an extraordinary life filled with intrigue and creativity. Not only was she a renowned playwright, author, and poet, but she also served as a spy for Charles II during her time in Antwerp. Her groundbreaking achievements make her the first professional female writer in England. One of Aphra Behn's most famous works is "Orinooko" which has left an indelible mark on literature. This portrait captures her essence as a strong-willed woman who defied societal norms to pursue her passion for writing. Despite facing imprisonment at one point in her life, Aphra Behn rose above adversity to become an influential figure in English literature. Born in Surinam and later buried at Westminster Abbey, she leaves behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations. This print serves as a testament to Aphra Behn's resilience and talent while honoring her significant contributions to the literary world. It stands as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to gender or background – anyone can leave their mark if they dare to dream big enough.
