. English: Admiral Sir John Balchen, 1670-1744 A three-quarter-length portrait showing Balchen to the left in a blue coat, with gold clasps and a heavy gold embroidered sash. He wears a sword belt around his waist and a brown full-bottomed wig. He gestures with his right hand towards a ship in the left background, half out of the picture and flying the red ensign. The identification of the sitter as Balchen is based on a lengthy inscription added to the portrait later than its date of production, and since removed. It is now known only from photographs, but read “Vice Admiral John Balchin, was born of very obscure Parentage February 4th 1669 at Godalming in Surrey, and rose to the Eminence noticed above solely by his own Exertions and Services, for which he was rewarded by his Sovereign with the Governorship of Greenwich Hospital. This distinguished Officer was unhappily lost in October 1744, off Alderney with the whole of the Crew 1200 in Number having his Flag then on board the Victory of 110 Guns. A Monument still exists in Westminster Abbey to his Memory.” The painting came to the museum as part of the Greenwich Hospital Collection. Sir Henry Austen gave the portrait to the Naval Gallery there in 1852 and at this time it appears to have been attributed to Sir Godfrey Kneller. The painting was later reattributed to Jonathan Richardson, who was the principal portrait painter of the period between Kneller and Hudson. He founded the St Martin's Lane Academy with Kneller in 1711 and was influential through his books on the theories of painting. The details surrounding the reattribution of this painting to Richardson remain unclear. Furthermore, Miles Barton has recently suggested Sir John de Medina as a much more likely artist. In February 1703 Balchen was appointed to the ship ‘Adventure’, which was launched in 1646 and in use until 1709. Balchen served on the 'Adventure' in the North Sea and channel until 1705. This would have provided opportunity for the
