ABOUT ARTIST SIR PETER LELY
Born Soest, Westphalia, 14 September 1618 died London, 30 November 1680).
Painter of Dutch origin who spent almost all his career in England and was naturalized in 1662. His family name was originally van der Faes, and the name Lely is said to have come from a lily carved on the house in The Hague where his father was born.
Lely was born in Germany (where his father, a captain of infantry, was stationed) and trained in Haarlem.
He moved to England in the early 1640s (early biographers say 1641 or 1643), and he soon turned to the more profitable field of portraiture where he became the dominant portrait painter to the court.
This would have been Artist Sir Peter Lely’s first commission when arriving in England and depicted the King as he appeared at the end of his life.
