‘Delineated lives’: themes and variations in seventeenth-century poems about portraits

Abstract

I A study of seventeenth-century English poems about portraits is elusive and at first rather tantalizing: while reference to a portrait occurs frequently, it is most often primarily a literary device - only rarely is it more than tenuously related to a particular and identifiable work of art. Yet despite this, such a study may provide some illuminating insights into the writers' attitudes towards the visual arts, and their changing expectations as regards portraiture.
