John Hoppner, a renowned English portrait painter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, captured the essence of his subjects with remarkable skill. From iconic figures like Horatio Nelson, Viscount Nelson, to influential politicians such as William Pitt and King George IV of England, Hoppner's brushstrokes brought them to life on canvas.
