EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor on parchment, created by Elias Brenner in 1697, captures a striking portrait of King Carl XI of Sweden (1655-1697). The monarch, a member of the House of Wittelsbach, is depicted in a full-length pose, wearing the regal attire of the time. The king's cloak, adorned with ermine fur, adds to the grandeur of the image, while the purple under-robe and white shirt convey a sense of elegance and refinement. The portrait reveals the powerful and commanding presence of Carl XI, with his direct gaze and strong posture. The background, featuring a simple oval shape, allows the viewer's focus to remain solely on the king. The use of rich colors, such as purple and brown, adds depth and texture to the painting, further enhancing its visual appeal. Carl XI reigned during a pivotal period in Swedish history, expanding the Swedish Empire through military conquests and diplomatic alliances. His reign also marked the beginning of the Great Northern War, which lasted until 1721. This portrait, which is now housed at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, is a testament to the king's heritage and the artistic talent of Elias Brenner. The painting's origin is believed to be from the Palatinate Zweibrücken, reflecting the artist's connection to the German region. Overall, this portrait is an invaluable piece of historical art, offering a glimpse into the fashion and royalty of the seventeenth century.
