EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Charles Seymour, the 6th Duke of Somerset, in all his regal glory. Painted by the renowned Sir Godfrey Kneller in 1703, this print showcases a man who held great influence during the reign of Queen Anne. Charles Seymour's rise to power began when he befriended Princess Anne in 1692. This friendship blossomed into a close bond, leading him to become a favorite of Queen Anne herself upon her ascension to the throne in 1702. His loyalty and dedication were rewarded with the prestigious position of Master of the Horse. As a Privy Councillor, Charles Seymour played a pivotal role in securing the Hanoverian succession when Queen Anne's health deteriorated in 1714. His political acumen and strategic thinking ensured a smooth transition for Great Britain. In this portrait, Charles Seymour exudes confidence and authority. With his long hair flowing elegantly around him, he embodies both grace and strength befitting his noble status. The attention to detail captured by Sir Godfrey Kneller brings out every nuance of expression on Charles Seymour's face. This lithograph serves as an enduring testament to one man's significant contribution to British history during the vibrant eighteenth century. It is not just an image but also an insight into an era where courtiers like Charles Seymour shaped destinies alongside monarchs like Queen Anne herself.
