Verified profile

The repainting depicting Louis Durfort-Duras, Earl of Feversham, was probably executed around 1685, when the figure depicted, in the service of James II, achieved his greatest military success with the victory over the Duke of Monmouth. On that occasion he was compensated with the conferral of a prestigious honor, the Order of the Garter, to which the blue band on the chest could allude. Although known by other contemporary portraitists, John Riley (1646-1691) was one of the few English artists who was able to establish himself in this field, usually dominated by foreign painters, managing to establish himself with an aristocratic commission and at the same court. Nonetheless, his works lack the pomp, emphasis and ostentation that usually characterized the parade portrait at the time, rather giving space to the physiognomic and psychological rendering of the faces.
