EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable painting by Andreas von Behn, depicting Gustaf Hard of Segerstad (1654-1714), a prominent figure in Swedish history. As chamberlain, cabinet master, and director of Stromsholms stud farm, Hard held great influence over the prestigious institution. The watercolor on parchment artwork was created in 1694 and measures 22 cm in height and 20.5 cm in width. Gustaf Hard's significance extended beyond his administrative roles; he also served as Karl XII's riding instructor. Known for his true character and straightforward approach, Hard earned the appreciation of both Karl XI and Karl XII. His exceptional horsemanship skills were often showcased during speedy rides to places like Korsor. The painting reveals that Gustaf Hard had an extravagant way of riding which caught the attention of King Karl XII himself. Original letters found in the National Archives shed light on this aspect of his personality. Furthermore, Gustaf played a pivotal role in revolutionizing Swedish riding art by introducing significant changes to traditional practices. It is believed that Gustaf Hard traveled to France or Spain in 1693 to acquire horses for the stud farm at Riddarholmsk Castle. The painting features two or three varnish seals with heraldic weapons as well as a signature at the lower right corner. This print from the Liszt Collection offers a glimpse into an influential individual who left an indelible mark on Swedish equestrian culture and history.
