EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the regal presence of George I, King of England (1660-1727), as depicted in the renowned Kneller Cig painting by Sir Godfrey Kneller. Commissioned in 1715, this portrait marks a significant moment in British history as George I ascended to the throne following the death of his predecessor, Anne Stuart. Born in Hanover, Germany, George I was the first British monarch from the House of Hanover. His election to the throne was met with resistance due to his foreign origins, but he was able to establish his legitimacy through diplomacy and the support of his wife, Sophia of Hanover. The portrait showcases George I's distinguished appearance, with his white wig and ornate attire signifying his royal status. The king's stern expression and strong posture convey a sense of authority and determination, reflecting his leadership during a period of political instability in England. The painting's title, "Kneller Cig," is believed to refer to the small, round, white object held in the king's right hand. While the exact identity of this item remains a subject of debate among historians, it is thought to be either a snuffbox or a tobacco pouch. Regardless, it adds an intriguing detail to an already captivating portrait of a pivotal figure in British history. This portrait is a testament to the artistic skill of Sir Godfrey Kneller, who was the leading portrait painter in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. His portraits of British monarchs, including this one of George I, continue to be admired for their masterful execution and historical significance.
