EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print captures a historic meeting between two influential monarchs of the 18th century. In this enchanting artwork, we witness the encounter of King Gustavus III of Sweden and Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. Painted by Cornelius Hoyer in 1783, this masterpiece showcases the elegance and grandeur that surrounded these powerful figures. The scene takes place in Fredrikshamn, a significant location where political alliances were forged. The delicate brushstrokes on parchment bring to life the regal presence of both rulers as they engage in conversation. King Gustavus III's refined attire reflects his Scandinavian heritage while Catherine II exudes grace and authority with her imperial garments. This painting not only depicts an important diplomatic event but also sheds light on their familial connection. Catherine II was married to Peter III, who happened to be Gustavus' cousin. Their meeting symbolizes a union between nations and highlights their shared ancestry. Preserved at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of an era when European powers shaped international relations through diplomacy and strategic alliances.
