Biography: Born in Germany, Sir Godfrey Kneller first studied in Amsterdam under Bol and later in Italy. In the mid 1670’s, he moved to England and became the leading court and society painter around the beginning of the reign of James II. In 1689, when Wililam III and Mary II took the throne, Kneller became their principal painter along with John Riley. He was knighted in 1692 and became a baronet under George I in 1715. Kneller had a large output, mainly due to his many assistants. The majority of his work was quick and mechanical, but he paid better attention to his portraits when the sitters held higher importance.
