Painting Description
"Bildnis des schwedischen Königs Karl XII" (Portrait of the Swedish King Charles XII) is an oil painting by the Swedish artist David von Krafft, a prominent portrait painter of the Swedish Baroque era. Created in the early 18th century, this work is one of the many royal portraits that von Krafft produced during his tenure as a court painter. The painting depicts King Charles XII of Sweden, also known as Carolus Rex, who reigned from 1697 until his death in 1718.
David von Krafft (1655–1724) was a German-born painter who became the apprentice and nephew of the renowned Swedish court painter David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl. Following his uncle's footsteps, von Krafft assumed the role of the leading court painter upon Ehrenstrahl's death. His works are characterized by their meticulous detail, rich color palette, and the grandeur appropriate for royal representation.
In "Bildnis des schwedischen Königs Karl XII," von Krafft captures the young warrior king at the height of his power, emphasizing the monarch's military prowess and regal bearing. Charles XII is often remembered for his role in the Great Northern War and his efforts to maintain Swedish dominance in Northern Europe. The portrait likely served both as a symbol of the king's authority and as a piece of political propaganda, reinforcing the image of a strong and determined ruler.
The painting is notable for its historical significance and its representation of the Swedish monarch during a pivotal period in Sweden's history. It reflects the Baroque style of portraiture with its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as the attention to the luxurious details of the king's attire and the trappings of power.
As of the knowledge cutoff date, the specific location or ownership of "Bildnis des schwedischen Königs Karl XII" by David von Krafft is not detailed in this entry. However, works by von Krafft are held in various collections, including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, which houses a significant number of his portraits, including those of the Swedish royal family and other notable figures of the era.
