INTRODUCTION
By Lionel Cust, M.V.O., M.A., F.S.A., Director of
the National Portrait Gallery, Surveyor of the
King's Pictures and Works of Art, &c.
IN the introduction to the Catalogue of the first Exhibition
of Historical Portraits at Oxford, the history of portrait-
painting in England was lightly sketched from early days down
to the accession of Charles I. During the reign of this king,
whose true appreciation and cultivated patronage of the Fine
Arts have done much to temper the criticism of posterity on the
disastrous part played by Charles in the history of his country,
a most important event occurred, which finally closed an epoch in
the history of portrait-painting in England, and opened another,
which has continued with episodes up to the present day. This
event was the arrival in England of Anthony Van Dyck, as painter
to the Court and aristocracy of England. The effect of Van
Dyck's appearance in English art may be compared to that at
a later date of Byron in the world of literature.
When Anthony Van Dyck arrived in England in 1632, the art of
portrait-painting, which was at the time the only one of the
pictorial arts which could be said to be flourishing in England,
was still hide-bound in the stilted formulas of the Netherlandish
schools, as represented by the schools of Mytens, Miereveldt, and
Honthorst. Van Dyck himself did not anywhere destroy the
formulas and conventions which he found existing, but assimilated
them to his own style, and by so doing laid down a new set
of formulas and conventions, which have been followed more or
less continuously by portrait-painters up to the present day.
The immense influence exercised by Van Dyck is the more
remarkable seeing that of his short life of forty-one years only
7

INTRODUCTION

some six and a half were spent in England, and that his circle of
patronage was almost entirely confined to the Court and to the
great territorial families of the aristocracy with whom the Court
was chiefly associated. It is not surprising therefore to find that
the Universities were but little aifected by the dazzling incursion
of Van Dyck into the world of art in England.
Short, however, as was the career of Van Dyck in England,
its effect was of instantaneous importance. Among his numerous
pupils and assistants, who were employed in turning out of his
workshop the many repetitions and copies of such portraits as
were most in demand by the King or Queen or the nobility or
by the royalist adherents during the Civil War, there were
painters of English birth, like Dobson, and others, whose deri
vation from Van Dyck is sufficiently obvious, such as Robert
Walker and John Michael Wright, to say nothing of the greatest
of all portrait-painters in miniature, Samuel Cooper. It is a habit,
which recent historians such as Dr. Gardiner and Professor Firth
have done something to dispel, to look upon the years of the
Commonwealth as a period of gloomy negation with regard to
the study and practice of art. It is true that after the glamour
of Van Dyck and the reflected twilight of Dobson diu-ing the
residence of the Court at Oxford, the Cromwellian period seems
somewhat sombre and uninteresting, but in reality there was being
engendered in the country a school of native-born artists, such as
Robert Walker, J. M. Wright, John Riley, and later on Sir
James Thornhill, to whom is due the credit of being the pioneers
of a national school of painting, a credit which is often unduly
bestowed upon William Hogarth.
The career of William Dobson is a pleasing tribute to the
character of Van Dyck, who discerned his talent and made him
one of his special assistants, it being Apossible to trace Dobson's
hand in the completion of many portraits which issued from
Van Dyck's studio about the time of or after the great painter's
death. When that event occurred unexpectedly in December, 1641,
the mantle fell upon Dobson, who succeeded Van Dyck in the
favour of royalty, and resided at Oxford as Court painter while

INTRODUCTION

the Court was established there. But his strength and character
were too weak for the task, and he fell a victim to his very success
before arriving at his full powers of accomplishment.
The vacant mantle then descended upon a stronger nature, though
not one of English birth, Peter Van der Faes, or Peter Lely, who
brought some of the teaching of the Haarlem school of Frans Hals
to blend with the prevailing influence of Van Dyck. After the
Restoration Lely had little difficulty in establishing himself as the
favourite painter of Court and fashion. Unluckily he found it
necessary, probably in self-defence, to try and assimilate to his
natural style the shallow and meretricious graces of the French
Court painters, and thus inaugurated a kind of bastard art, which
was easy to practise, and still more easy to imitate, and which called
into existence a swarm of thirdr or fourth-rate exponents, through
whose attempts at imitation Lely's own credit and reputation
have been unduly depreciated. Some of his principal assistants,
such as John Greenhill and Mrs. Beale, were of English birth.
No person suffers more from the fleeting caprice of fashion than
the portrait-painter, and Sir Peter Lely himself had the morti
fication of seeing a new star arise in the firmament, one destined
to carry even greater weight and influence, though in a far less
attractive form, the star of Sir Godfrey Kneiler.
The age of Sir Godfrey Kneiler may be described as the age of
the periwig. This was not Kneller's fault, for the periwig was
a French invention and derived from royalty, and as the King of
France was the glass of fashion in those days, the periwig was
triumphant throughout Europe. It proved the negation of art,
even in the hands of such dexterous exponents as Rigaud and
LargiUiere in Paris. The convention of the periwig entailed
a further convention in the costume. Here again a fashion set in,
prevalent in both sexes, in a cross current to the frills and
furbelows of Charles IPs Court. Hence the rise of the 'face-
painter,' and an innumerable series of so-called ' postures,' so often
repeated that the persons represented all seem exactly alike.
Under William III the Dutch influence prevailed, as might have
been expected, though it was only the sobriety, and not the more
B 9

INTRODUCTION

brilliant qualities, of the Dutch art which established itself and
got blended with the unimaginative respectability of the English.
In such a field of art mediocrity was likely to flourish, and the
country was full of itinerant, third-rate portrait-painters, whose
imitations of Kneiler and his greater contemporaries are artistically
valueless, but by no means lacking in interest or importance from
a national, local, or personal point of view. This prolific period
lasted until the close of the period selected for the present
exhibition, to be followed by a renascence of the former spirit
in Hogarth, and of the Van Dyck spirit in Reynolds and
Gainsborough. The depressing conventions of the time have allowed but scant
justice to be done to the skill of Sir Godfrey Kneiler. As
a face-painter he is probably unrivalled, and he might have gained
equal credit as a painter of entire portraits had not the exigencies
of fashion, and the consequent facilities for amassing a large
fortune, contributed to make him but a partial contributor to the
paintings which bear his name. His own work is always excellent,
but is seldom to be discerned easily by the casual spectator.
Kneiler had a host of imitators in England, both of native and
foreign extraction, and several rivals, of whom perhaps the most
important was Michael Dahl, a Swedish artist, in whose train
came a company of Northern painters, Closterman, the Seemans,
and others, whose second or third-rate work appealed to the
grosser tastes of the first two Georges.
One of the worthiest rivals to Kneiler, however, was the English
man, Jonathan Richardson, a painter of great merit and a man of
some cultivation and intellect. Richardson was a pupil of John
Riley, who has already been mentioned, and, as the master of
Thomas Hudson, was instrumental in handing on the torch which
had been first set alight by the genius of Van Dyck, and passed
through Richardson and Hudson into the hand of Sir Joshua
Reynolds. Oxford was at the latter part of the seventeenth century the
most active centre, outside London, of literature and the arts
in this country. Under its auspices the arts of painting and

INTRODUCTION

engraving, as well as printing, were fostered and greatly en
couraged. It was not the fault of the University that the styles
then in vogue had a flavour of cheapness and mediocrity. These
qualities or defects were characteristic of the age.
It is easy to decry the fashions of an age gone by, but it should
be remembered that the painters of that age were as highly
esteemed by their contemporaries as those of our own age are
to-day. Nay, more ! their praises were sung by the poets, whose
works are classic. Lely has his poet in Edmund Waller, who
wrote among other eulogies :
' The picture of fair Venus that
(For which men say the goddess sat)
Was lost, till Lely from your look
Again that glorious image took.'
Lovelace, Charles Cotton, and others also wrote poems on Lely's
art. Kneiler found his poet in Alexander Pope, who did not
scorn to celebrate certain paintings done by Kneiler for him.
'What god, what genius did the pencil move,
When Kneiler painted these !
'Twas friendship, warm as Phoebus, kind as love.
As strong as Hercules.'
Pope, again, wrote of Charles Jervas, the fashionable painter of
society in his day :
'Beauty, frail flower that every season fears.
Blooms in thy colours for a thousand years.'
Yet what is the value of a portrait by Jervas now ?
In looking on the portraits of this period let us remember the
words of Thomas Carlyle : ' In short, any representations made by
a faithful human creature of that face and figure which he saw
with his eyes, and which I can never see with mine, is now valuable
to me, and much better than none at all.'

THE pictures are arranged as far as possible in the chronological
order of the deaths of the subjects, in three principal groups,
beginning on the left of the entrance.
A. Portraits of personages who died between 1625 and 1660,
upon the walls and screens to the east and north-east of the central
gangways. B. Portraits of personages who died between 1660
and 1688, south of the central gangways. C. Portraits of per
sonages who died between 1688 and 1714, north-west and west
of the central gangways.
Anonymous portraits are placed near those of personages who
died in the year in which they are dated. The imdated unknown
portraits are mostly grouped on the central screens on the south
side of the room facing the entrance.
The pictures are, with few exceptions, catalogued under the
names given to them by the contributors; and the Committee
is in no way responsible for "their authenticity.
The names of engravers are mentioned where their plates are of
value in identifying the subjects or painters of portraits.
Portraits are described under four sizes — bust, the head and
shoulders ; half length, to the waist ; three-quarters length, to the
knees or below ; whole length, the entire figure. '
The terms ' to right ' and ' to left ' denote to the right and left
of the spectator.
In the measurements the height is always placed before the width.
Abbreviations : b., born ; m., married ; d., died ; r., right ; 1., left.
A. and W., used in the biographical notices, refer to John Aubrey's
Brief Lives and to Anthony Wood's Life and Times and City of
Oxford, all edited by the Rev. Andrew Clark, LL.D., and to Wood's
Athenae and History and Antiquities of the Colleges and Halls.
