Hampton Court Beauties
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hampton Court Beauties are a series of portraits by Sir Godfrey Kneller depicting the most glamorous ladies from the courts of King Charles II of England and that of William and Mary. They adorn the state rooms of King William III at Hampton Court Palace. Hampton Court also houses the so-called Windsor Beauties by Sir Peter Lely, but the Hampton Court Beauties are of a plainer, less erotic style reflecting the change in opinion towards women towards the latter half of the seventeenth century.
