英语词汇warts and all的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

warts and all. The roots of warts and all reach way back to a remark Oliver Cromwell (1599–1658) made to an artist paint- ing his portrait: “Mr. Lely, I desire you would use all your skill to paint my picture truly like me, and not flatter me at all; but remark all these roughnesses, pimples, warts, and everything as you see me, otherwise I will never pay a farthing for it.” The sto- ry may be apocryphal, though it does sound like Cromwell, and historians believe that the Lord Protector, if he did say this, was speaking to Samuel Cooper rather than Sir Peter Lely, who painted less realistic full-length portraits of Cromwell from a miniature Cooper had done.
