EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles XI's Favorite Horse Tott, 1680" is a stunning oil painting by the renowned German artist David Klocker Ehrenstrahl. This masterpiece, created in the late 17th century, captures the intimate bond between the King of Sweden, Charles XI, and his beloved thoroughbred horse, Tott. The painting showcases Tott in profile, standing calmly and obediently next to a plinth. The horse's sleek, glossy black coat shines under the artist's skillful brushstrokes, highlighting its muscular form and elegant curves. Tott's expressive eyes convey a sense of intelligence and friendliness, reflecting the trust and companionship shared with the king. Charles XI, depicted in profile, gazes affectionately at his horse. The king's regal attire, including a fur-trimmed coat and a tricorn hat adorned with a feather, emphasizes his status and power. The artist's use of color and contrast adds depth and dimension to the painting, making it a captivating and historically significant work of art. This painting is a testament to the importance of horses in the daily life and culture of the 17th century European aristocracy. It is also a beautiful example of Ehrenstrahl's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of his subjects, making it a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Originally housed in the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, this painting is now on display at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The painting's rich heritage and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection or exhibition focused on the art and history of the 17th century.
