EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Hugo Salmson, we witness a poignant moment frozen in time. Gustav Vasa, the renowned Swedish king, discovers his beloved mate Katarina Stenbock peacefully asleep. As he approaches her slumbering form, he overhears her whispering words that stir both love and longing within him. The painting, created in 1868 with oil on canvas, showcases Salmson's exceptional talent for capturing emotion through art. With a height of 73 cm (28.7 inches) and width of 59 cm (23.2 inches), it demands attention and draws viewers into its narrative. As Gustav Vasa listens intently to Katarina's murmurs, he hears her confess her deep affection for King Gosta while expressing an unwavering devotion to someone named Rosen whom she can never forget. These heartfelt words reveal a complex web of emotions that entwine the characters in this historical tale. Salmson's brushstrokes bring life to each figure depicted in the painting—Gustav Vasa's face reflects surprise mixed with curiosity as he contemplates the meaning behind Katarina's confession. The soft hues and delicate details enhance the dreamlike quality of the scene. This remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection invites us to ponder upon themes such as love, loyalty, and human vulnerability—an artistic treasure that transcends time itself.
