"King William III" by Godfried Schalcken is a notable oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist, known for his mastery in the use of chiaroscuro and candlelight effects in his works. The painting depicts William III of England, also known as William of Orange, who reigned as King of England, Ireland, and Scotland from 1689 until his death in 1702. Schalcken's portrayal of the monarch is significant as it captures the king during a pivotal period in British history, reflecting the political and cultural shifts of the time.

Godfried Schalcken (1643–1706) was a student of Gerrit Dou and is renowned for his fine detail and the subtle play of light and shadow in his portraits and genre scenes. While Schalcken painted various subjects, his portraits of European nobility and distinguished figures are particularly esteemed. In "King William III," Schalcken's skill is evident in the realistic depiction of the king's features, the intricate detailing of his regal attire, and the interplay of light that gives life to the composition.

The painting is a valuable historical artifact, offering insights into the iconography of power and the representation of monarchy in the late 17th century. As with many of Schalcken's works, the exact date of "King William III" is not always clear, but it is generally believed to have been painted during the latter part of the artist's career, when he had established a reputation for his distinctive style.

"King William III" by Godfried Schalcken holds a place in the canon of Dutch portraiture and is of interest to art historians and enthusiasts of the Baroque period. The work is also of particular relevance to those studying the visual culture of the Glorious Revolution and the subsequent reign of William III, as it provides a contemporaneous image of a monarch whose rule had a lasting impact on the British Isles and beyond.
