"Carolus Linnaeus 1707-78 Knight of the Polar Star First Physician to the King Professor of Botany in the University at Upsal" is a portrait by Swedish artist Martin Hoffman (Hollman), created in the 18th century. The painting depicts Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778), the renowned Swedish botanist, physician, and zoologist, who laid the foundations for the modern scheme of binomial nomenclature. He is often referred to as the "father of modern taxonomy" for his work in classifying and naming organisms.

The portrait honors Linnaeus's contributions to science and his prestigious appointments. As the title suggests, Linnaeus was knighted with the Order of the Polar Star, an order of chivalry founded by King Frederick I of Sweden in 1748. Additionally, he served as the First Physician to the King of Sweden, which was a significant recognition of his medical expertise. Linnaeus was also a respected academic, holding the position of Professor of Botany at Uppsala University (referred to as "Upsal" in the title, following the historical spelling), which was the center of his scientific work and where he influenced many students.

The portrait is an important historical artifact, reflecting both Linnaeus's personal achievements and the Enlightenment's emphasis on scientific exploration and classification. It serves as a visual representation of Linnaeus's esteemed status in Swedish society and the scientific community during the 18th century. The artwork is significant for its cultural and educational value, providing insight into the historical context of Linnaeus's life and the recognition he received for his groundbreaking work in the field of natural science.
