"Portrait of Sir Jonathan Trelawny successively Bishop of Bristol, Exeter, and Winchester" is a painting by the renowned late 17th and early 18th century artist, Godfrey Kneller. This work, completed during the height of Kneller's career, showcases his keen ability to capture individualistic characteristics and official significance of his subjects.

The painting features Sir Jonathan Trelawny (1650-1721), an important figure within the Church of England, having held positions as the Bishop of Bristol, Exeter, and Winchester successively. Trelawny was also famous for his role in the Seven Bishops' case, where he along with six other bishops, was tried for seditious libel during the reign of King James II. His acquittal marked a significant success for the Anglican Church against the attempted Catholic encroachment by King James II.

In this portrait, Kneller depicts Trelawny in his full ecclesiastical regalia, signifying his religious and political stature within England. The artist’s drawing style in this painting mirrors those of his other works during the same period, with a distinct emphasis on the detailed execution of facial features, contrasted with a loosely rendered background and clothing. This focus results in a compelling balance between the realistic depiction of the subject and a degree of artistic interpretation and playfulness.

The "Portrait of Sir Jonathan Trelawny, successively Bishop of Bristol, Exeter, and Winchester" serves as a testament to Kneller's mastery of portraiture during the Baroque era. It not only exemplifies his technical abilities and stylistic preferences, but also reflects the socio-political climate of England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. As such, this work holds significant historical and aesthetic value, shedding light on the interplay between religious power, art, and society during the period.
