Swedish Estate Views, known in Swedish as "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna," is an extensive collection of engravings and illustrations created by the Swedish military engineer and artist Erik Jonsson Dahlberg. Commissioned by the Swedish government in the late 17th century, this monumental work aimed to document and celebrate the architectural and cultural heritage of Sweden during its period of great power. Dahlberg, often referred to as the "Swedish Piranesi," embarked on this ambitious project in 1661, and it took several decades to complete, with the final volume being published posthumously in 1716.

The collection comprises over 350 detailed engravings, depicting a wide array of Swedish landscapes, castles, manors, churches, and urban scenes. These illustrations are not only artistic achievements but also serve as invaluable historical records, providing insights into the architectural styles, urban planning, and societal structures of 17th-century Sweden. Dahlberg's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the grandeur and essence of the Swedish estates make this work a significant contribution to both art and history.

Swedish Estate Views was intended to bolster national pride and showcase Sweden's cultural and architectural achievements to the rest of Europe. The work reflects the Baroque era's fascination with grandeur and the sublime, and it stands as a testament to the period's artistic and technical advancements. The engravings were widely distributed and admired, influencing contemporary and later artists and architects.

Today, Swedish Estate Views is considered a cornerstone of Swedish cultural heritage and is preserved in various libraries and museums. It continues to be a subject of study for historians, art historians, and architects, offering a window into Sweden's past and the artistic vision of Erik Jonsson Dahlberg.
