EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the mesmerizing "Vadersolstavlan" painting, also known as the "Sun Dog Painting" created by Jacob Heinrich Elbfas in 1636. This oil on panel masterpiece measures 163x110 cm and is located in Stockholm, Sweden. The artwork is a copy of an original piece by Urban Malare, depicting an atmospheric phenomenon that occurred over Stockholm on April 20th, 1535. Commissioned by Olaus Petri during the reign of King Gustav I, this painting holds historical significance as it showcases the earliest representation of the city from Sodermalm's perspective. It beautifully portrays medieval Stockholm with its towering churches, castles, and fortified walls. The celestial phenomenon depicted in the painting adds a mystical touch to the scene. Sun dogs or parhelia are optical phenomena caused by ice crystals reflecting sunlight and creating bright spots on either side of the sun. In this context, they serve as cosmic omens or warnings. This print allows viewers to appreciate Elbfas' skillful replication of Malare's lost original work. The birds-eye view offers a panoramic glimpse into Stockholm's past while highlighting its importance as Sweden's capital city during this period. With its rich history and stunning visual elements, this artwork transports us back to sixteenth-century Scandinavia when Gustav Vasa led Sweden through reformation and unification under Protestantism.
