About the Item
This is an original antique print that features an intricate engraving from 1698, depicting Charles XI, the King of Sweden, titled "Carolus XI, Suecorum Gothorum Et Vandalorum Rex," which translates to "Charles XI, King of the Swedes, Geats, and Wends." It's part of the "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna" series, which means "Ancient and Modern Sweden."
The artwork showcases the regal bearing and attire of the monarch, with a detailed representation of his robes, the fur trim denoting his status, and a plethora of regalia including a crown, scepter, and orb, symbolizing his authority and the state's power. He is framed within an arch, topped with his royal coat of arms, and supported by columns of laurel leaves, a classical symbol of victory and honor.
At the base, a small, more rugged portrait in a medallion likely represents an ancient ancestor or a figure of historical importance to the lineage of Charles XI, enhancing the image's connection to the past and the king’s heritage. This engraving is the work of Samuel Blesendorf, as mentioned on the object itself, with contributions from Erik Jönssen Dahlberg, and it was produced in Germany.
The meticulous craftsmanship of the engraving technique used by Blesendorf is evident in the fine lines and detailed textures, from the king's curly hair to the embroidery on his garments, and the ornate items that surround him. This print was likely created as a piece of historical documentation or a form of tribute to the king, capturing the grandeur and the formal symbolism associated with his reign.
