Description: | This portrait is a copy taken from a Van Dyck painting of James Stanley, the 7th Earl of Derby, ancestor of several early twentieth-century University Chancellors. As mentioned in the upper left corner of the portrait, James was beheaded in 1651 for his loyalty to Charles I. He helped the King escape from Worcester, before surrendering himself to parliamentarian troops. James' record in the Civil War was ambiguous; although he successfully defended the Isle of Man as a royalist refuge, his estates in Lancashire, which he had worked so hard as a young man to rebuild, suffered from neglect. | Subjects: | portrait (Stanley James) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) Æ After Previously attributed to school of Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) Previously attributed to British School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8359... | Go to resource |
