The opportune death of serious rivals (notably Lely in 1680) and his own arrogant self-assurance enabled him to establish himself as the dominant court and society painter by the beginning of the reign of James II (1685). He was the last foreign-born artist to dominate English painting, but it needed a Hogarth and a Reynolds to break through the conventions he had popularized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osmora Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174780322032,"sku":"9782765908456","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782765908456_p0.jpg?v=1763702025","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782765908456","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
