Painting Description
"Portrait of King Carl XII of Sweden 1682-1718" is an oil painting by the Swedish-born artist Michael Dahl, who was a prominent portrait painter in England during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The portrait depicts Charles XII, also known as Carl XII in Swedish, who was the King of Sweden from 1697 until his death in 1718. Known for his military campaigns during the Great Northern War, Charles XII is often remembered as a warrior king, and his portraits typically reflect his martial reputation.
Michael Dahl's portrayal of Charles XII is significant as it captures the monarch at a pivotal moment in Swedish history. The painting is a work of both historical and artistic importance, offering insight into the royal image-making of the period and the aesthetics of baroque portraiture. Dahl's technique, use of color, and attention to detail exemplify the style of the era and contribute to the grandeur and dignity of the royal subject.
The exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, but it is likely to have been produced during the height of Charles XII's reign, possibly after a significant military victory or state event that would warrant the commission of a royal portrait. As with many works of art from this period, the provenance of the painting may have involved a complex history of ownership, exhibition, and interpretation, reflecting the shifting tastes and political fortunes of the time.
