EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait of Carl Linnaeus, or Carolus Linnaeus as he was also known, was painted by Johan Gustaf Sandberg in 1827, long after the Swedish botanist's death in 1778. Linnaeus, considered the father of modern taxonomy, is renowned for his significant contributions to botany and the naming system for organisms. The painting captures Linnaeus in the Rococo era, with his elaborate wig and formal attire, reflecting the fashion of the time. The artist, Johan Gustaf Sandberg, was a prominent Swedish portrait painter of the 18th and 19th centuries. This portrait, held at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, showcases the heritage and historical significance of Linnaeus as a pioneering scientist and influential figure in the world of botany. The oil painting, with its rich colors and intricate details, provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 18th century and the world of Linnaeus, a man whose work continues to shape our understanding of the natural world.
