"Godfrey Kneller, né Gottfried Kniller, was born in Germany and educated in the Netherlands and Italy; he is regarded, however, primarily as an English painter. In 1676 Kneller moved to England, where he changed his name, and by the turn of the eighteenth century had become one of the most influential English portraitists. English and foreign nobility flocked to his London workshop. His talent was held in high esteem by English kings, and after the death of Sir Peter Lely (1618-80) Kneller became Principal Painter to the Crown, a position he held virtually uninterrupted for years. Kneller received a knighthood from William III in 1692, and his last patron, George I, made him a baronet in 1715, the highest title ever granted to a painter at the time."
