EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, created by the renowned Swedish artist David Klocker Ehrenstrahl in 1675, depicts Bengt Horn af Åminne (1623-1678) with his two wives, Margaretha Sparre and Ingeborg Banér. The scene is set in a lush, idyllic landscape, with the figure of Bengt Horn, a prominent Swedish military leader and field marshal, seated in the center. He is dressed in the regal attire of his rank, complete with a grand wig and a sword at his side. To his left, Margaretha Sparre, his first wife, is shown with a gentle expression, her hands delicately folded in her lap. She wears an elegant, flowing gown and a fashionable headdress. To Bengt Horn's right sits Ingeborg Banér, his second wife, who gazes at him affectionately. She is dressed in a similarly elegant gown and her long, curly hair is adorned with pearls and flowers. The painting is filled with cherubs and putti, symbolizing the concept of love and affection. The cherubs playfully interact with the figures, adding a touch of whimsy and lightness to the scene. The color palette is warm and inviting, with rich hues of red, gold, and green. This painting is a testament to the complexities of marriage and family dynamics during the seventeenth century in Sweden. Bengt Horn's two wives are depicted not as rivals, but as cherished companions, reflecting the societal norms of the time. The painting is now a cherished part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, and serves as an important document of Swedish history and heritage.
