George II (1683-1760) by George Knapton is a distinguished portrait of King George II of Great Britain, created by the notable English painter George Knapton. Knapton, who was born in 1698 and died in 1778, was a prominent portrait artist of the 18th century and served as the official painter to the Society of Dilettanti, a society of noblemen and scholars dedicated to the study of classical art and culture. His works are known for their elegance, attention to detail, and the ability to capture the character and status of his subjects.

The portrait of George II is a significant work within Knapton's oeuvre, reflecting both the artistic style of the period and the regal bearing of the monarch. George II, who reigned from 1727 until his death in 1760, was the last British monarch born outside Great Britain and the second ruler from the House of Hanover. His reign was marked by numerous military conflicts, including the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War, as well as significant political developments within Britain.

Knapton's portrayal of George II is notable for its meticulous rendering of the king's features and the sumptuousness of his attire. The portrait typically depicts the king in royal regalia, emphasizing his authority and the grandeur of his position. The use of rich colors, fine textures, and a composed, dignified expression are characteristic of Knapton's style and contribute to the painting's impact as a representation of monarchical power.

This work not only serves as an important historical document but also exemplifies the artistic conventions of 18th-century British portraiture. It provides insight into the ways in which royal imagery was constructed and disseminated during George II's reign, reflecting broader cultural and political contexts. Knapton's portrait of George II remains a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the history of the British monarchy.
