EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 19th century oil painting depicts Karl XIII, also known as Charles Frederick, King of Sweden and Norway (1748-1818), created by the renowned Swedish artist Carl Fredrik von Breda. The monarch is shown dressed in his full military regalia, including a red and gold coat adorned with various medals, such as the Order of Charles XIII and the Order of the Seraphim. The King's gaze is directed away from the viewer, adding an air of introspection to the portrait. Born into the House of Oldenburg, the Holstein-Gottorp branch of the Oldenburg dynasty, Karl XIII ascended to the Swedish throne in 1809 following the death of his cousin, King Charles XIII. During his reign, he focused on strengthening Sweden's military and diplomatic relations with other European powers. The painting, executed in the traditional European oil painting technique, captures the essence of the era's fashion and the grandeur of the Swedish monarchy. The rich colors and intricate details of the King's uniform and the subtle textures of the fabric convey a sense of history and heritage. The portrait is now part of the extensive collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to be a source of inspiration and pride for the Swedish people.
