Charles XI's Favorite Horse Capricorn, 1673
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning oil on canvas painting by the renowned German artist David Klocker Ehrenstrahl. This masterpiece, created in the 17th century, captures the likeness of King Charles XI of Sweden's beloved thoroughbred horse, Capricorn. The painting showcases the horse in a natural setting, standing proudly on a sandy beach with the waves crashing in the background. The horse's muscular form and sleek coat are accentuated by the contrasting textures of the sand and water. The painting is not just a simple equestrian portrait, but a depiction of a seductive moment between the horse and the sea. The storm cloud looming in the sky adds an element of drama and tension, as if the horse is flirting with the tempest. Capricorn's head is turned towards the sea, his ears pricked forward, as if listening to the call of the waves. The horse's profile is depicted in a three-quarter view, allowing the viewer to appreciate the intricacies of Ehrenstrahl's brushstrokes and the horse's powerful build. This painting is a testament to the artistic talent of David Klocker Ehrenstrahl and the cultural heritage of Sweden during the 17th century. It is currently on display at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to captivate visitors with its beauty and historical significance. The painting's rich colors and intricate details transport us back in time, allowing us to witness the elegance and allure of Charles XI's favorite horse, Capricorn.
