EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George II, the esteemed King of Great Britain in 1706. The artist behind this masterpiece is Joseph Smith, who skillfully captures the essence of the monarch's regal presence. King George II stands tall, adorned in an exquisite long wig and resplendent plate armor that symbolizes his power and authority. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this 18th-century portrait, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details of both the armor and the king's facial features. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a pivotal era in history when warfare was prevalent and sovereigns held immense influence over their countries. George II Augustus was not only King of Britain but also Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg in Germany. His reign marked a significant period for both nations as he navigated political alliances and conflicts with astuteness. This portrait serves as a testament to his strength as a leader during these turbulent times. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this mezzotint engraving by Joseph Smith immortalizes one of Britain's notable rulers. It allows us to connect with our past while appreciating the artistry involved in capturing such historical figures on canvas.
