Charles Jervas
Charles Jervas was born in Dublin in 1675 who later lived in England. After moving to England, Jervas became an apprentice to the painter Sir Godfrey Kneller. He later studied drawing in Rome and then returned (c. 1709) to England. Succeeding Kneller, he became court painter to the English kings George I and George II. His home became a centre for literary figures, among them Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift, whose portraits Jervas painted, in addition to that of George II (1728). He produced a translation of Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote (published posthumously, with his surname spelled Jarvis, in 1742).
