EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Joséphine of Leuchtenberg (1807-1876), the Queen of Sweden from 1859 until her death in 1876. The painting, created by the renowned Swedish artist Jakob Axel Gillberg (1815-1884) in the late 1800s, showcases the Queen's elegant and sophisticated style. Joséphine was the Princess of Bologna and Duchess of Galliera before her marriage to King Oscar I of Sweden. The Queen is depicted wearing a stunning beauharnais-style dress, a fashion popularized during the reign of her first husband, Napoleon Bonaparte's brother, King Jerome Bonaparte of Westphalia. The dress, adorned with intricate floral patterns, is a vibrant shade of red, adding a bold pop of color to the monochromatic background. Joséphine's hair is styled in an elaborate updo, with curls cascading down the sides of her face, framing her delicate features. She accessorizes the outfit with elegant earrings and a striking necklace, adding to the overall opulence of the portrait. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage and fashion of the late 18th and mid-19th centuries. It is currently housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to be admired for its historical significance and artistic merit. The portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a fascinating historical figure, whose legacy continues to captivate and inspire.
