Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector
History records that when Oliver Cromwell (voted, in 2002, as one of the top-ten greatest Brits of all time) commissioned a portrait of himself, he instructed the painter: "I desire you would use all your skill to paint my picture truly like me ... warts and everything." The artist, Sir Peter Lely, knew how to follow directions. CreditsOliver Cromwell, c. 1654, portrait by Sir Peter Lely (1618-1680). National Museum of Wales. |
