EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a self-portrait of Sir Godfrey Kneller, an esteemed portrait painter in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The etching, created by James (John) Girtin around 1817, beautifully captures Kneller's likeness within a decorative border. Sir Godfrey Kneller was renowned for his talent as a court painter to British monarchs from King Charles II to King George I. His ability to capture the essence and personality of his subjects made him highly sought after among the elite of his time. The tinted etching featured in this print is based on a self-portrait by Kneller himself. It is part of John Girtin's collection titled "Seventy-Five Portraits of Celebrated Painters from Authentic Originals" published in London in 1817. The image transports us back to the seventeenth century, allowing us to appreciate not only Kneller's skill as an artist but also the fashion and style prevalent during that era. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both Sir Godfrey Kneller's artistic prowess and his lasting impact on English portraiture. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural heritage preserved through art.
