EDITORS COMMENTS
King Charles XI's Upbringing: An Allegory of Fate and Reassurance by David Klocker Ehrenstrahl (1668) This stunning oil painting by David Klocker Ehrenstrahl, titled "King Charles XI's Upbringing: An Allegory," was created in 1668 and is now housed at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden. The painting depicts the young King Charles XI of Sweden (1655-1697) in the midst of his upbringing, surrounded by a rich tapestry of allegorical figures and symbols that represent the various aspects of his life and destiny. At the center of the painting, we see the young monarch, dressed in armor and holding a sword, seated on a throne. He is flanked by two female figures, each representing a different aspect of fate. Lachesis, the goddess of destiny, holds the thread of life in her hand, symbolizing the inescapable nature of fate. At the same time, a guardian angel hovers above him, holding out a book and a gift, offering reassurance and guidance. The painting is filled with other symbols and metaphors that reflect the heritage and history of the House of Wittelsbach, the Swedish monarchy, and the Swedish Empire. The king is surrounded by men representing various aspects of the arts, literature, and sciences, symbolizing the importance of culture and learning in his upbringing. A man in a haberdashery shop is shown presenting the king with a thread, representing the thread of his royal lineage and the continuity of the Swedish monarchy. The painting is a rich and complex allegory of the king's upbringing, his destiny, and the reassurance of his guardian angel. It is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Swedish monarchy during the seventeenth century and a reminder of the enduring legacy of the House of Wittelsbach.
