  • 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.

    Introduction: Female friendship, community and retreat Friendship still has been design‘d, The Support of Human-kind; The safe Delight, the useful Bliss, The next World‘s Happiness, and this. Give then, O indulgent Fate! Give a Friend in that Retreat (Tho‘ withdrawn from all the rest) Still a Clue, to reach my Breast. Let a Friend be still convey‘d Thro‘ those Windings, and that Shade! Where, may I remain secure, Waste, in humble Joys and pure, A Life, that can no Envy yield; Want of Affluence my Shield.1 Anne Finch’s “The Petition for an Absolute Retreat” is one of a number of verses by early modern women which engage with the poetic traditions of friendship and the pastoral.2 Finch employed the imagery and language of the pastoral to shape a convivial but protected space of retreat. The key to achieving the sanctity of such a space is virtuous friendship, which Finch implies is both enabled by and enabling of pastoral retirement. Finch’s retreat is not an absolute retirement; she calls for “a Friend in that Retreat / (Tho’ withdrawn from all the rest)” to share in the “humble Joys and pure” of the pastoral. Friendship is “design’d [as] the Support of Human-kind”, a divine gift to ease the burden of human reason and passion. The cause of “the next World’s Happiness, and this”, 1 Anne Finch, “The Petition for an Absolute Retreat” in Miscellany Poems, on Several Occasions, printed for J.B. and sold by Benj.

The key to buying bronzes is to acquire the skill of identifying where a specific bronze stands on this continuum - the ‘same’ bronze may occur at several points, according to its edition, so novices need to be careful. 2 Several things determine value. First, of course, the artist. With anonymous works or those by lesser artists, period and school are important; because of the unparalleled achievement of French bronzes during the nineteenth century, the Bronze figure of a bull cast 7 after a model by Rosa designation ‘French’ nearly always adds value - as does ‘Art Deco.’ Bonheur, standing with raised Rarity is also important: early casting in a long series are far more sought after tail, brown/green patination, than later ones, and some bronzes are limited editions.

    “Mary Beale” by Mary Beale, oil on canvas, circa 1665, 43 in. × 34½ in., NPG 1687, © National Portrait Gallery, London. Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal Vol. 10, No. 1 • Fall 2015 Mary Beale and Art’s Lost Laborers: Women Painter Stainers Helen Draper istories of seventeenth-century British art suggest that one, two, possibly Hthree women were painters.1 Of those, only Mary Beale (1633–99) estab- lished an independent commercial studio, maintaining it successfully for more than twenty years without formal training, court patronage, or guild affiliation.2 Fellow portraitist Joan Carlile (d.1679) and miniaturist Susannah-Penelope Rosse (d.1700) painted professionally, enjoying some renown, but few of their paintings survive. Can this possibly represent the entire contribution of women to the artistic life of the metropolis? No, dozens of women were members of or apprenticed to the Company of Painter Stainers and their story will be explored herein. Although other women painters earned money, only Beale is now repre- sented by a large, attributed body of work including several self-portraits, printed poetry, and two manuscripts, one of which, Observations by MB in her painting of Apricots, is the first known text in English about the act of painting written 1 For example, Ian Chilvers Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1990); M. Whinney and O. Miller The Oxford History of English art: 1625–1714 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1957). For a closer look at women painters see Susan E.
