"Gustav Vasa Vid Ornasstugan" is a renowned historical painting by the Swedish artist Carl-Gustaf Hellqvist, painted in 1886. The artwork is a dramatic and romanticized depiction of a pivotal moment in Swedish history featuring Gustav Vasa, who later became King Gustav I of Sweden. The painting portrays the young nobleman during his struggle against the Danish occupation of Sweden in the early 16th century.

In the painting, Gustav Vasa is shown seeking refuge at the cottage of a peasant family in Ornas, after his escape from Danish soldiers. The scene captures the tension and uncertainty of the moment, as the peasant family hesitates to shelter him, fearing retribution from the Danish forces. Hellqvist's work is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of emotion, historical detail, and its role in shaping the national romantic image of Gustav Vasa as a hero of Swedish independence.

The painting is a prime example of 19th-century Swedish historical romanticism, a movement that aimed to evoke national pride and identity through the depiction of significant events and figures from Sweden's past. Hellqvist, who studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm and later in Munich, was known for his meticulous research and attention to historical accuracy, which is evident in the costumes and setting of "Gustav Vasa Vid Ornasstugan."

This piece is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its cultural impact, as it has contributed to the collective memory and identity of the Swedish people. The painting is often highlighted in discussions of national history and art, and it remains an important work in the oeuvre of Carl-Gustaf Hellqvist, reflecting his status as one of Sweden's most prominent historical painters of the 19th century.
