EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Certamen Equestre," depicts the grand and majestic coronation of King Karl XI (Charles XI) of Sweden, which took place on November 23, 1654, in Uppsala Cathedral. The image captures the solemn and awe-inspiring moment as the newly crowned monarch, dressed in his regal attire, takes the oath to uphold the laws and protect the people of his kingdom. Surrounding the king are the esteemed members of the Swedish nobility, all dressed in their finest attire, paying homage to their new ruler. The scene is filled with an air of reverence and tradition, as the transfer of power from one monarch to another is a significant event in the history of any nation. The artist of this stunning work is David Klocker Ehrenstrahl, a renowned German engraver who was invited to Sweden to document the coronation. Ehrenstrahl's meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of the moment is evident in this exquisite engraving. The intricate design of the robes, the delicate folds of the fabric, and the expressive faces of the nobility all contribute to the overall impact of the image. King Karl XI, who ruled from 1654 to 1672, was a capable and effective monarch who played a crucial role in restoring Sweden's power and prestige following the devastating Thirty Years' War. This coronation marked the beginning of his reign and set the stage for his many accomplishments. The image of his coronation serves as a testament to the grandeur and tradition of Swedish monarchy and the importance of the role of the monarch in the lives of his people.
