EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, a prominent figure in French and Swedish history. Born in 1763, Bernadotte started his career as a soldier during the French Revolution and later became a Marshal of France under Napoleon Bonaparte's command. His military prowess and strategic brilliance earned him great recognition. In 1810, to everyone's surprise, Bernadotte was elected Crown Prince of Sweden. This unexpected turn of events marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey for him. He embraced his new role with dedication and commitment, eventually ascending to the throne as King Charles XIV John in 1818. The engraving after FJ Kinson's portrait captures Bernadotte standing beside a mortar, symbolizing his military background and strength. The image exudes power and authority while also hinting at the turbulent times he lived through. This print is not just a visual representation; it encapsulates an era defined by war, revolution, royalty, and diplomacy. It serves as a testament to Bernadotte's remarkable life trajectory from being a revolutionary soldier to becoming one of Sweden's most influential monarchs. Preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG) within their extensive archive collection, this historical artifact allows us to delve into the past and appreciate the multifaceted nature of individuals who shaped our world centuries ago.
