  • THE POWER of BEAUTY in RESTORATION ENGLAND Dr
    THE POWER OF BEAUTY IN RESTORATION ENGLAND Dr. Laurence Shafe [email protected] THE WINDSOR BEAUTIES www.shafe.uk • It is 1660, the English Civil War is over and the experiment with the Commonwealth has left the country disorientated. When Charles II was invited back to England as King he brought new French styles and sexual conduct with him. In particular, he introduced the French idea of the publically accepted mistress. Beautiful women who could catch the King’s eye and become his mistress found that this brought great wealth, titles and power. Some historians think their power has been exaggerated but everyone agrees they could influence appointments at Court and at least proposition the King for political change. • The new freedoms introduced by the Reformation Court spread through society. Women could appear on stage for the first time, write books and Margaret Cavendish was the first British scientist. However, it was a totally male dominated society and so these heroic women had to fight against established norms and laws. Notes • The Restoration followed a turbulent twenty years that included three English Civil Wars (1642-46, 1648-9 and 1649-51), the execution of Charles I in 1649, the Commonwealth of England (1649-53) and the Protectorate (1653-59) under Oliver Cromwell’s (1599-1658) personal rule. • Following the Restoration of the Stuarts, a small number of court mistresses and beauties are renowned for their influence over Charles II and his courtiers. They were immortalised by Sir Peter Lely as the ‘Windsor Beauties’. Today, I will talk about Charles II and his mistresses, Peter Lely and those portraits as well as another set of portraits known as the ‘Hampton Court Beauties’ which were painted by Godfrey Kneller (1646-1723) during the reign of William III and Mary II.

  • A Suit of Silver: the Underdress of a Knight of the Garter in the Late Seventeenth Century
    Costume, vol. 48, no. 1, 2014 A Suit of Silver: The Underdress of a Knight of the Garter in the Late Seventeenth Century By D W This paper describes the cut and construction of the doublet and hose worn as underdress to the robes and insignia of the Knights of the Most Noble Order of the Garter at the English Court under Charles II. This example belonged to Charles Stuart, sixth Duke of Lennox and third Duke of Richmond (1639–1672), who was created a knight of the Garter in 1661. It is interesting on several counts: the dominant textile is a very pure cloth of silver; the elaborate hose are constructed with reference to earlier seventeenth-century models; the garments exemplify Charles II’s understanding of the importance of ceremony to successful kingship. The suit was conserved for an exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh and the essay gives some account of discoveries made through this process. In addition, the garments are placed in the context of late seventeenth- century dress. : Charles II, Charles Stuart, sixth Duke of Lennox and third Duke of Richmond, Order of the Garter, ceremonial dress, seventeenth-century men’s clothing, seventeenth-century tailoring T N M S, Edinburgh, UK has in its possession a set of clothes comprising a late seventeenth-century ceremonial doublet and trunk hose, part of the underdress of the robes of the Order of the Garter (Figures 1 and 2).1 The garments are made of cloth of silver and were once worn by Charles Stuart, sixth Duke of Lennox and third Duke of Richmond (1639–1672), who was created a knight of the Garter in 1661.

The Traveling Exhibition Service of the Smithsonian Institution announced today a forthcoming exhibition of major importance, "Old Master Drawings from Chatsworth," which will open at the National Gallery of Art on October 28th. The lik magnificent drawings which comprise the exhibition are on loan from one of the finest private art collections in England, formed by the second Duke of Devonshire in the late 17th and early l8th centuries and enlarged by his descendants. Selected by Mr. A. E. Popham, for many years Keeper of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum, they illustrate the art of drawing in Europe from the Renaissance to the end of the 17th century. Chatsworth is one of the most famous of the great British country houses, and only on two occasions has an exhibition representing its wealth of drawings been attempted. Both were in England. Perhaps the outstanding feature of the collection is the series of landscape drawings by Rembrandt, ten of which are to be shown. Among the kj other artists represented are Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Giulio Romano, Mantegna, Correggio, Parmigianino, Primaticcio, Veronese, Rosso, Bruegel, Van i) ~~ Dyck, Rubens^ Durer, Holbein, and Inigo Jones. The earliest drawing in the exhibition is by an anonymous 15th century Sienese artist showing the "Betrayal of Christ" on one side and a finished composition representing "Christ Before the High Priest" on the reverse.

Regrettably, signed, dated and suitably inscribed a very limited number of Brockwell’s original notes are lost to us today, and since then pictures – and all in 1643. It is strange that we still know nothing no real attempt has been made to further identify Leigh, until about his origin, place and date of birth, residence, marriage and now. death… Much research proves that the biographical facts Brockwell eventually sold the portrait of Robert Davies to regarding T.

  • School Resource Key Characters
    School Resource Key characters James II was the second son of Charles I, the monarch who was executed by his own people after years of civil wars in England and Scotland. James grew up in exile in France and moved back to England when his brother Charles II was invited to take back the throne in 1685. James was born a Protestant, but converted to Catholicism in the 1660s. At first he kept it a secret because Catholics were feared and hated in England, but during the 1670s and 1680s he worked to gain religious freedoms for Catholics. His daughters, Mary and Anne, from his first marriage were brought up Protestant. But he married the Catholic Mary of Modena in 1673 and when their son James was born in 1688, people feared that England would stay Catholic and looked to the Protestant William of Orange for help. James II He fled England after the Glorious Revolution in 1688. He attempted to get Born 1633, died 1701 back his throne, but was defeated in battle in the Battle of the Boyne in King 1685–88 Ireland in 1690. He retired to France and died there in 1701, but his supporters, the Jacobites, continued to make trouble and try and put his heirs on the throne until 1746. William was the son of one of Charles I’s daughters, meaning James II was his uncle, and his wife Mary, was also his cousin. His marriage to his cousin Mary didn’t start well: she cried at the wedding. But they grew to love each other very much.
