Kristian Tyrann is a notable painting by the Swedish artist Ernst Josephson, created in 1878. Josephson, born in 1851, was a prominent figure in the Swedish art scene, known for his contributions to the Symbolist movement and his influence on the development of modern Swedish art. The painting, whose title translates to "Christian the Tyrant," depicts the historical figure King Christian II of Denmark, who ruled over Denmark, Norway, and Sweden during the early 16th century.

Christian II, often referred to as "Christian the Tyrant" in Swedish history, is a controversial figure due to his harsh rule and the infamous Stockholm Bloodbath of 1520, where he ordered the execution of Swedish nobles and clergy. Josephson's portrayal of Christian II captures the king's complex legacy, blending historical accuracy with artistic interpretation to evoke the tumultuous period of Scandinavian history.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of color and light, which Josephson employs to highlight the intense emotions and psychological depth of the subject. The composition is carefully structured to draw the viewer's attention to the central figure of Christian II, whose stern expression and regal posture convey both authority and menace. Josephson's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rich textures of the king's attire and the intricate background elements, which together create a vivid and immersive historical scene.

Kristian Tyrann is considered one of Josephson's masterpieces, reflecting his skill in combining historical narrative with expressive artistry. The painting is housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, where it continues to be a significant piece of Swedish cultural heritage, offering insight into both the historical figure it depicts and the artistic vision of Ernst Josephson.
