EDITORS COMMENTS
Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778), the renowned Swedish naturalist and father of modern taxonomy, is depicted in this image as he receives a visit from King Gustav III of Sweden in 1790. Linnaeus, dressed in his scholarly robes, sits at his desk, surrounded by an impressive collection of natural specimens, while the regal Gustav III stands before him, dressed in his royal attire. The exchange between the two men is believed to have taken place at Linnaeus' residence in Uppsala, where the king was reportedly interested in discussing scientific matters with the esteemed naturalist. Linnaeus' groundbreaking work in systematics revolutionized the way living organisms were classified and named. His influential system, which is still used as a foundation for modern taxonomy, categorized organisms based on shared characteristics and relationships. Linnaeus' publication of "Systema Naturae" in 1758 is considered a milestone in the history of science. Gustav III, who ruled Sweden from 1771 to 1792, was a patron of the arts and sciences. His support for Linnaeus and his work reflects his commitment to advancing knowledge and promoting scientific progress in Sweden. The visit between the two men not only highlights the importance of their intellectual exchange but also underscores the significant role that the monarchy played in the development of Swedish science during this period. This evocative image, captured by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the world of Carl Linnaeus and the intellectual circles of 18th-century Sweden.
