EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Charles XII, King of Sweden (1682-1718), in an impressive Baroque-era representation created in the 17th or 18th century, likely based on a painting by David von Krafft. The monarch is shown in a grand military uniform, donning a vibrant red coat adorned with golden braid and intricate embroidery. The collar of his coat is adorned with the Star of the Order of the Seraphim, a symbol of royalty and divine protection. The king's white breeches are tucked into high black boots, and he wears a white linen shirt with a ruff collar. The rich colors and textures of the clothing, along with the regal posture and intense gaze of the king, convey a sense of power, authority, and heritage. Charles XII reigned as King of Sweden from 1697 until his death in battle in 1718. He is best known for leading Sweden in the Great Northern War against Russia, Denmark, and Poland. This portrait, possibly originating from the Netherlands or the Low Countries, serves as a testament to the grandeur and majesty of the Swedish monarchy during the Baroque era. It is now housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a treasure trove of Dutch and European art and history.
