"Portrait of James II (1633-1701)" is an oil painting by Sir Godfrey Kneller, a leading portrait artist in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The painting depicts James II of England, who reigned from 1685 until he was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Kneller, born Gottfried Kniller in Lübeck, Germany, became the principal painter to the English court and was renowned for his portraits of royalty and aristocracy.

This particular portrait is significant as it captures James II, a monarch whose reign was marked by his attempts to reintroduce Catholicism to a predominantly Protestant England and his subsequent overthrow. The artwork is a testament to the period's complex religious and political landscape and provides insight into the image James II wished to project of his monarchy. Kneller's skill in portraiture is evident in the detailed rendering of the king's attire, the regal pose, and the dignified expression, all of which contribute to the grandeur and formality befitting a royal subject.

The painting is an example of the Baroque style, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as a sense of movement and emotional intensity. Kneller's mastery of this style is apparent in the way he captures the textures of fabrics and the lifelike quality of the king's visage. As a historical artifact, the portrait not only serves as a visual record of James II but also reflects the artistic trends and cultural values of the Restoration period in England.

"Portrait of James II (1633-1701)" by Sir Godfrey Kneller remains an important work in the oeuvre of one of Britain's most celebrated portrait painters and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance. The painting is held in various collections, and its reproductions can be found in art history texts and exhibitions focusing on the Baroque period and British portraiture.
