Image:John Vanbrugh.png

An early 18th-century portrait of John Vanbrugh, by Godfrey Kneller. Vanbrugh is wearing the badge of office of Clarenceux King of Arms, a position he held from 1704 to 1725.

The painting is from about 1704–1710, when Vanbrugh was 40–45 years old. It is an oil on canvas, measuring 36x28 inches (914x711 millimeters). It is currently on display at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

It was digitized with a scanner from the cover of "Sir John Vanbrugh: A Biography", and uploaded to :en by en:User:Bishonen.

The horizontal white marks are cracks in the actual painting's varnish, not scanner artifacts.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The original image comprising the work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason: This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired. This applies to the United States, Canada, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term. العربية | Asturianu | Български | Català | Česky | Dansk | Deutsch | English | Ελληνικά | Esperanto | Español | Euskara | فارسی | Français | Gaeilge | Galego | עברית | हिन्दी | Bahasa Indonesia | Italiano | 日本語 | 한국어 | Kurdî / كوردی | Lietuvių | Magyar | Nederlands | ‪Norsk (nynorsk)‬ | Bahasa Melayu | Polski | Português | Română | Русский | Slovenčina | Slovenščina | Shqip | Suomi | Sámegiella | Türkçe | ‪中文(简体)‬ | ‪中文(繁體)‬ | 粵語 | +/- Under United States copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright work may not be protected under U.S.copyright law.
