Gustav Is Farewell Speech to the Estates (oil on canvas)
1163652 Gustav Is Farewell Speech to the Estates (oil on canvas) by Hagelberg, Nils (1767-1818); Private Collection; (add.info.: Gustav I, born Gustav Eriksson of the Vasa noble family and later known as Gustav Vasa (12 May 1496 - 29 September 1560), was King of Sweden from 1523 until his death, previously self-recognised Protector of the Realm (RikshAovitsman) from 1521, during the ongoing Swedish War of Liberation against King Christian II of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Initially of low standing, Gustav rose to lead the rebel movement following the Stockholm Bloodbath, in which his father perished. Gustavs election as King on 6 June 1523 and his triumphant entry into Stockholm eleven days later meant the end of Medieval Swedens elective monarchy as well as the Kalmar Union. This created a hereditary monarchy under the House of Vasa and its successors, including the current House of Bernadotte.); Photo eFine Art Images; Swedish, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the historic moment of Gustav I's Farewell Speech to the Estates, depicted in an oil on canvas painting by Nils Hagelberg. This significant artwork, held in a private collection, portrays Gustav Eriksson of the Vasa noble family, later known as Gustav Vasa, who reigned as King of Sweden from 1523 until his death. Gustav's journey to power was marked by his role as the self-recognized Protector of the Realm during the Swedish War of Liberation against King Christian II. Following the tragic Stockholm Bloodbath that claimed his father's life, Gustav emerged as a leader and eventually became king after being elected on June 6th, 1523. His triumphant entry into Stockholm eleven days later marked not only an end to Medieval Sweden's elective monarchy but also dissolved the Kalmar Union. This pivotal moment in Swedish history established a hereditary monarchy under the House of Vasa and its successors. The significance and impact of this transition are beautifully captured in Hagelberg's painting. The print allows us to appreciate both historical context and artistic mastery simultaneously. It serves as a reminder of Gustav I's crucial role in shaping Sweden's future while showcasing Hagelberg’s talent for capturing emotion and grandeur on canvas. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when kingdoms were forged through determination and sacrifice – an enduring testament to human resilience and leadership.
