EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th century oil on canvas painting by Swedish artist Hugo Salmson, we find ourselves in the intimate setting of the royal chambers, where King Gustav Vasa, portrayed as a mature and regal figure, is seen basking in the soft glow of candlelight as he gazes upon his beloved wife, Katarina Stenbock, who lies asleep in an ornate, richly colored dress adorned with intricate Baroque patterns. The tranquility of the scene is broken by the king's introspective expression, as if he is lost in thought, pondering the words that have just escaped his wife's lips in her sleep. The title of the painting, "Gustav Vasa finds his wife Katarina Stenbock asleep and hears her say: 'I love King Gosta very much, but I will never forget Rosen'", offers a tantalizing glimpse into the complexities of the royal marriage. Katarina's confession suggests a deep and enduring love for her husband, yet her mention of "Rosen" hints at a past affection or loyalty that still lingers. The painting invites us to explore the rich tapestry of the royal dynasty, the House of Vasa, and the complexities of love and loyalty within the confines of the 16th and 19th century monarchy. The painting's intricate details, from the ornate furnishings to the sumptuous fabrics, transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Baroque era. The contrast between the stillness of Katarina's slumber and the deep contemplation of her husband adds to the painting's intrigue, leaving us to ponder the depths of the human heart and the complexities of love and loyalty within the confines of royalty.
