EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century portrait depicts Mauritz Posse of Säby, born in 1632 and passing away in 1702. The anonymous artist masterfully captured the aristocrat's regal presence through the use of rich colors and intricate details. Mauritz is shown seated, leaning on an elbow, with a direct gaze that seems to penetrate the very soul of the viewer. His long, wavy hair is meticulously styled and adorned with a voluminous wig, while his clothing, featuring ornate cuffs and lace, speaks to his status as a baron and governor. The political figure is dressed in the height of 17th century fashion, with a sumptuous, red jacket and a white, frilled shirt. The artist's skillful application of oil paint brings Mauritz to life, allowing us to connect with this historical figure from Sweden's past. This portrait, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, offers a glimpse into the world of the aristocracy and the politics of the time. With his hand gesturing in a thoughtful manner, Mauritz Posse of Säby invites us to ponder the complexities of the 17th century and the heritage it has left behind.
