EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 16th century portrait captures Christian II, the charismatic and enigmatic king of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, from the House of Oldenburg. Christian II, born in 1481, ruled Denmark from 1513 to 1523 and Sweden and Norway from 1520 to 1523 and again from 1534 to 1559. The portrait depicts the monarch in regal attire, wearing a black velvet doublet and hose, a fur-lined cloak adorned with ermine, and a tall, conical hat. The chain of office, symbolizing his sovereign power, is draped over his shoulder. Christian II is known for his distinctive beard and is shown here holding a sword, a symbol of his military prowess. The oil painting, created in the 16th century by an anonymous artist, is now housed at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, and offers a glimpse into the fashion and heritage of the Scandinavian monarchy during this period. The portrait conveys a sense of power, authority, and tradition, making it an invaluable addition to the annals of European art history.
