Masterly & masterful
These terms imply having the skill or art of a master.
Masterly is usually restricted to a meaning of “skillful,”
However, whereas Masterful
suggests authority, dominance, and force:
“Napoleon, a Masterful man, deployed his troops in a Masterly way.”

Words often confused with MASTERFUL
At an earlier time,
both masterful and masterly had two senses:
“having a commanding or domineering nature or manner”
and “possessing the skill of a master.”
The earliest sense of masterly, “having a commanding nature,”
has been obsolete since the 18th century.
Masterful continues to be used
in all varieties of speech and writing in both senses,
despite the protests of some
who prefer that masterful be restricted to the sense
“dominating or imperious”:
The envoy's masterful behavior irritated the citizens.
Few painters have produced so many
masterful (or masterly) portraits.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Masterful vs. Masterly: Usage Guide
Some commentators insist that
use of masterful should be
limited to its early "domineering" sense
in order to preserve a distinction between it and masterly.
The distinction is a modern one, ex-cogitated [reflect deeply] by a 20th century pundit in disregard of the history of the word.
Both words developed in a parallel manner
but the earlier sense of masterly,
equivalent to the "domineering" sense of masterful,
dropped out of use.
Since masterly had but one sense,
the pundit opined that
it would be tidy if masterful were likewise limited to one sense
and he forthwith condemned use of masterful
to mean "having mastery" as an error.
This later sense of masterful, which is slightly older
than the sense of masterly intended to replace it,
has continued in reputable use all along;
it cannot rationally be called an error.

Usage Note:
According to a widely repeated dictum,
masterful should be reserved for the sense
"imperious, domineering" (as in a masterful tone of voice),
whereas masterly should be the choice
when the intended sense is "having the skill of a master"
(as in a masterly performance of the sonata).
But in practice writers have been less heedful,
and today masterful is well attested with
the meaning "finely skilled."
In fact, the word masterful is far more likely to occur
before words like performance and ability than masterly is.
Collins English Dictionary
Usage:
The use of masterful to mean masterly
as in a masterful performance, although common,
is considered incorrect by many people.
