EDITORS COMMENTS
Justus van Egmont's captivating painting, "Queen Christina as Minerva," created in 1654, showcases Queen Christina I of Sweden in an extraordinary representation as the Roman goddess of wisdom and war, Minerva. The Queen, born Kristina Augusta Wasa, ruled Sweden from 1632 until her abdication in 1654. This magnificent oil on canvas work, hailing from Flanders, Belgium, Europe, displays the Queen in an elaborate Baroque costume, donning a breastplate and chest plate adorned with intricate designs, symbolizing her strength and power. The vibrant colors and rich details of her clothing, along with her curly hair cascading down her shoulders, add to the allure of the portrait. The concept of portraying the Queen as Minerva was not only a tribute to her intelligence and leadership but also a reflection of her deep interest in the classics. This painting, held in the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, is a testament to the Queen's heritage and the artistic mastery of Justus van Egmont. Justus van Egmont, a Dutch painter, skillfully captured the essence of the Queen's regal presence, making this painting a significant addition to the annals of European art history. The painting's intricate details, from the delicate folds of the Queen's dress to the meticulously crafted armor, transport us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the world of the enigmatic Queen Christina I of Sweden.
