Portrait of Mrs. Hargreave by Attributed to Sir Joshua Reynolds

Sir Joshua Reynolds 1723–92, English portrait painter, born in Devonshire. Long considered historically the most important of England's painters; by his learned example he raised the artist to a position of respect in England. Reynolds studied painting in London and in 1742 began as a portraitist in Devon. He was able to study the Italian masters when Commodore Keppel, a friend, took him to Italy in 1749. After three years of study and travel, Reynolds returned and took London by storm. Intensely ambitious, Reynolds used his wit and charm as well as his artistic talents to advance himself, and within a year he was besieged with portrait commissions and was employing assistants. He maintained a gallery not only of his own works but also those of Old Masters whose paintings he bought and sold. He entertained the world of wealth and fashion and the great literary figures of the day. When the Royal Academy was founded in 1768, Reynolds was inevitably elected President and was knighted the following year. He is best represented in the National Gallery, London, but examples of his work are to be seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Cleveland Museum of Art; and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Portrait of a Boy with Faithful Companion by Circle of Sir Godfrey Kneller

This oil on canvas, is from the circle of Sir Godfrey Kneller(1646-1723). It depicts a boy dressed in a Van Dyck costume, with his faithful greyhound by his side. Sir Godfrey Kneller was an English/German Baroque era painter who specialized in portraits. He studied under Ferdinand Bol and Carlo Maratta. A leading portrait painter in England, he served all the rulers from Charles II to George I while also portraying Louis XIV and Peter the Great. Born in Lübeck as Gottfried Kniller, he trained in Amsterdam, probably under Ferdinand Bol, and in Rome. After arriving in London in 1676, he established himself as a baroque classicist portrait painter to court society, successfully competing with and then succeeding Peter Lely. Kneller’s series of ladies’ portraits, the so-called ‘Hampton Beauties’, was a response to Lely’s ‘Windsor Beauties’. Kneller’s other series include 14 portraits of admirals, commissioned from him and Dahl by Queen Anne and Prince George of Denmark (circa 1702–08, National Maritime Museum, London) and more than 40 portraits of members of the Kit-Cat Club (circa 1700–20, National Portrait Gallery, London). The Kit-Cat series set a lasting and much imitated format of a small half-length with a plain background. His talent was greatly admired and officially recognized. Appointed Principal Painter to William III and Mary II in 1689, he initially held this position jointly with John Riley. His knighthood three years later was followed in 1715 by a baronetcy, the first to be conferred on a painter. Kneller was assisted by many young artists and the output of his studio was vast and of uneven quality. Although concerned mostly with his own career, he patronized young artists and looked after their training. In 1711 he founded the Academy of Painting in London and became its first governor. His work can be found in many museum collections worldwide, including the Hermitage in St Petersberg.
