EDITORS COMMENTS
This oval portrait depicts the renowned English statesman and diarist, Samuel Pepys (1633-1703). The image, created around the year of his death, captures Pepys in the prime of his later years. He is dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, wearing a lacy shirt and a voluminous curly wig. The historical context of the portrait is further emphasized by the Latin inscription below, which translates to "Samuel Pepys, Esq., Clerk of the Acts and Secretary to the Navy, 1673-1689." Pepys is best known for his detailed and revealing diary, which he meticulously kept from 1660 to 1669. The diary provides a unique insight into the political, social, and cultural history of the Restoration period in England. Pepys held various important positions in the Navy and the Admiralty, and his influence extended beyond his official roles. He was a key figure in the scientific revolution, supporting the work of Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke, and was an early proponent of the Royal Society. Despite his significant contributions to history, Pepys' personal life was not without scandal. He was involved in several extramarital affairs, which were detailed in his diary. However, his honesty and candor have made his diary an invaluable resource for historians and scholars. This curly, wigged, and inscribed oval portrait of Samuel Pepys is a testament to his historical significance and serves as a reminder of the rich and complex history of England during the Restoration period.
