EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century oil on canvas painting, titled "The Acclamation of King Carl XIV Johan of Sweden in 1818," captures a significant moment in Swedish history. Painted by the renowned Swedish artist Karl Stefan Bennet, the work depicts the acclamation of Carl Johan Bernadotte as King Carl XIV Johan of Sweden. The scene unfolds on a grand bridge, with the newly crowned monarch standing in a boat, surrounded by a flotilla of boats filled with cheering citizens. The ornate facade of a city building can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of grandeur and celebration. Carl Johan Bernadotte, a Frenchman by birth, had ascended to the Swedish throne after the previous monarch, King Charles XIII, died without an heir. Bernadotte, who had served as the Governor-General of Finland and the Commander-in-Chief of the Swedish army, was a popular choice among the Swedish people. In this painting, Bennet masterfully conveys the excitement and jubilation of the moment as the people of Sweden welcome their new king. The painting is a testament to the Baroque era's artistic style, with its rich colors and intricate details. It is now a cherished piece of heritage art and can be found on display at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to captivate visitors with its historical significance and artistic beauty.
