Abstract

Drawing on unpublished archival material, this essay offers a new understanding of London's Painter–Stainers' Company during the second half of the seventeenth century. Beginning and ending with a discussion of the English painter Robert Aggas, whose Landscape at Sunset became the centrepiece of an ambitious display of paintings within the Painter–Stainers' Hall, the essay identifies the Company as a vital presence within the cultural economy of the early modern capital. A reassessment of the Company's attitude towards overseas painters during the later 1600s points to the cosmopolitan make‐up of the self‐styled ‘English school’ of painting, first chronicled in Bainbrigg Buckeridge's influential An Essay towards an English School of Painters (1706).
