William Larkin. Portraits of the english aristocracy - the beginning of the 17th century

William Larkin (William Larkin, 1580-1619) is an English portrait painter, known for his iconic portraits of the English aristocracy at the court of Jacob I, in England. The artist achieved the greatest activity in his work in 1609 and worked so hard until his death.Portraits capture bright colors, rich layers of textiles, embroidery, lace and jewelry, characteristic of the fashion of the modern era. For the first time, the name of William Larkin sounded like the author of the portrait of Edward Herbert, previously considered the work of Isaac Oliver, the name of this artist with his works was not associated in any way, although they knew that he was like that at the Tudor court and the early Stuarts. He created about 40 portraits of court nobility. A series of nine full-length portraits (7 female and 2 male) Larkin were owned by Suffolk Counts. Now known as the Suffolk Collection, Exhibited at Kenwood House, London. The exact date of death of the artist and the place of burial are unknown, as the documents about this burned down during the Great Fire in London in 1666.

Great work! But in my opinion, the artist is fascinated by the subtleties of the costumes ... But the faces are mostly frozen ... But, probably, then the artists had such a fashion?   2
