EDITORS COMMENTS
Theophilus Hastings, seventh earl of Huntingdon, is captured in this exquisite mezzotint print by renowned artist Godfrey Kneller. Known for his loyalty to the Stuart monarchy, Lord Huntingdon was a prominent politician and a favorite of both Charles II and James II. In this half-length portrait, Lord Huntingdon exudes an air of casual elegance as he gazes confidently at the viewer. His perfectly coiffed wig adds to his aristocratic charm, while his relaxed posture suggests a man comfortable in his own skin. The interior setting provides a glimpse into the opulent world inhabited by the English aristocracy during this period. The richly adorned backdrop serves as a testament to Lord Huntingdon's status and influence within society. After the exile of James II in 1688, Lord Huntingdon chose to retire from public life. This decision speaks volumes about his unwavering loyalty and dedication to the Stuart cause. This mezzotint print not only showcases Kneller's exceptional artistic skill but also immortalizes an influential figure from England's history. It offers us a rare glimpse into an era defined by political intrigue and social hierarchy.
