EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of George I, painted in 1716 by renowned artist Godfrey Kneller. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 238x146 cm and is housed in the esteemed Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. George I, also known as Georg Ludwig, was a significant figure in British history. After Queen Anne's demise, he ascended to the throne as the first monarch of the House of Hanover. Born in Hanover, Germany, he ruled both Great Britain and Ireland from 1714 until his passing in 1727. The portrait showcases George I standing tall and resplendent in his royal robes. His full-length figure exudes authority and dignity befitting a ruler of his stature. Adorned with an orb symbolizing his power and sovereignty, he wears a majestic wig that adds to his grandeur. As a Protestant monarch during a time when Catholic succession was prohibited by law, George I became Annes closest living Protestant relative after her death. This made him eligible for the British throne according to the Act of Settlement 1701. This remarkable painting not only depicts George I but also serves as a testament to England's rich history and its connection with German royalty through George's lineage tracing back to James I. With its intricate details capturing every nuance of this influential ruler's appearance, it stands as an important piece within Bristol Museums' collection - one that continues to fascinate art enthusiasts worldwide.
