"Sir Hans Sloane, 1st Baronet, PRS (1660–1753) by Sir Godfrey Kneller" is an oil on canvas portrait of the notable Irish physician, naturalist, and collector Sir Hans Sloane, painted by the leading court painter in England, Sir Godfrey Kneller. The portrait, which dates from the early 18th century, captures Sloane at the height of his career, surrounded by symbols of his achievements and interests, reflecting his status as a learned man and his contributions to the fields of medicine and natural history.

Sir Hans Sloane was a prominent figure of his time, serving as the personal physician to Queen Anne, King George I, and King George II. He is best known for his extensive collections of books, manuscripts, natural specimens, and curiosities, which he bequeathed to the nation, leading to the foundation of the British Museum, the British Library, and the Natural History Museum in London. Sloane's legacy as a collector and patron of the sciences made him a key figure in the intellectual and cultural landscape of 18th-century Britain.

Sir Godfrey Kneller, originally from Lübeck in the Holy Roman Empire, became the leading portraitist in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He was appointed Principal Painter to the Crown under King William III and continued to serve in this capacity under subsequent monarchs. Kneller's portraits are known for their elegance and for capturing the character and status of his sitters. His depiction of Sir Hans Sloane is no exception, offering a window into the world of Enlightenment science and the role of patronage in the arts and sciences during the period.

The portrait of Sir Hans Sloane by Kneller is an important work of art that not only showcases the skill of the artist but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the life and times of one of the most influential figures of the Age of Enlightenment. It remains a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the history of science and museums.
