Charles XIV John of Sweden (1764-1844): From French soldier to Scandinavian monarch. Jean Baptiste Bernadotte, a French military hero, rose to the throne of Sweden as Charles XIV John, succeeding in uniting the Swedish and Norwegian crowns. This series of portraits captures the transformation of Bernadotte, from a Marshal of France (1818 Jouy) to the Late King of Sweden (unknown engraver, 1836). Witness his reign through the eyes of Sodermark (1831) and Amiel (1802), as he led Sweden and Norway into a new era.
