Charles's painter impressed a royal German mostly (7)
I've got LARGELY I can't parse ?

think I put largely

i cant parse loads of the clues since the new setter/format

Lely was the painter appointed to paint King Charles (can't remember the details!) and there's A R G (a R(oyal) G(erman) inside. ) The last bit doesn't work very well, but it's all I can see.

Peter "Lely" was court painter of Charles 1.
"a" in clue, "r" for a royal, "G" for German, inside.

Sorry, Malone!
You're too quick for me!

I'm relieved, Rusty - I thought I was just making those bits fit to suit myself. Yours was a neater, so better, version!

Well, we are both on the same hymn sheet, anyway, Malone!

Thanks, Rusty. I felt I was scratching around a bit to make the second part work, so was glad your answer had the same reasoning.

Thanks all I had a feeling there was a name involved much
Appreciated
