So rapid and facile was the younger artist that when Charles the Second, to save himself trouble, sat to Lely and Kneller at the same time, the portrait by Kneller was finished before Lely had well laid in the foundations of his design — or, as Walpole puts it, Lely's portrait was dead-coloured only.
There was full room for both men ; the extravagance of the Merry Monarch's Court was prodigious ; its picturesque- ness and love of artistic things could scarce well be sur- passed ; and the portra...it was in almost universal demand. But the brush was soon to fall from Lely's fingers and leave Kneller without rival at Court. Lely was painting the hand- some Duchess of Somerset when he was seized with apoplexy 92 THE CHILD OF ANNE'S REIGN and passed away from the scene of his triumphs amidst the tools of the art that he had beautified and enhanced by the dignity and charm and fascination of his style. He was buried by torchlight in the Church of St. Paul's in Covent Garden, where his bust by Grinling Gibbons was a hundred years afterwards unfortunately destroyed by the fire of 1795.
