	Sir Godfrey Kneller - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		SIR GODFREY KNELLER (1648-1723), a portrait painter whose celebrity belongs chiefly to England, was born in Lubeck in the duchy of Holstein, of an ancient family, on the 8th of August 1648.
		The style of Sir Godfrey Kneller as a portrait painter represented the decline of that art as practised by Vandyck; Lely marks the first grade of descent, and Kneller the second.
		Among Kneller's principal paintings are the "Forty-three Celebrities of the Kit-Cat Club," and the "Ten Beauties of the Court of William III.," now at Hampton Court; these were painted by order of the queen; they match, but match unequally, the "Beauties of the Court of Charles II.," painted by Lely.

	Details of Portrait of a Young Lady by Sir Godfrey Kneller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The delicated painted and expressive head of this sitter is characteristic of the work of Sir Godfrey Kneller, and the treatment of the hair, in which dark strokes are freely brushed onto a mid-brown background to suggest the fall of the locks, may be regarded almost as a signature style.
		From works such as this it is easy to understand why Sir Godfrey Kneller succeeded in dominating British society portraiture from the death of Sir Peter Lely in 1680 (whose position Kneller had begun to threaten from the occasion of his Portrait of Charles II (Royal Collection) in 1678) until his own death in 1723.
		Kneller is remembered for having painted ten ruling sovereigns, including every reigning British monarch from King Charles II to King George I, as well as almost every person of prominence in forty years on British public life.

	October 26th
		Sir Godfrey Kneller was the favourite painter of portraits in England, from Charles II's time to the reign of George I. He was born at Lubeck in 1648.
		Horace Walpole maintains that Kneller, had he chosen to turn his attention to high art, would have made an artist of the first class: as it was, he only painted portraits, and some of those in a very inferior manner.
		Kneller was knighted in 1692 by William, and made a baronet in 1715 by George I. He was always a vain man, a weakness for which his friend, Pope, incessantly ridicules him in his letters.
