EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal presence of King Charles Gustav of Sweden, immortalized by Pieter Nolpe and an anonymous artist between 1654 and 1660. The portrait exudes power and authority as the king sits upon a grand carriage, holding a scepter in his hand. He is surrounded by symbolic figures that represent various virtues and ideals. The allegorical figure of Minerva, also known as Athena, stands beside him, symbolizing wisdom and strategic warfare. She is pulled forward by majestic eagles while raising a celestial globe to signify the king's global influence. In his other hand, King Charles grasps a lance representing freedom which he maintains with unwavering strength. The composition includes additional allegorical elements such as Hercules trampling over snakes to depict triumph over evil forces. A list of theological virtues including faith (fides) can be seen on one side along with symbols like Caduceus (associated with commerce) and rudder (symbolizing navigation). Pieter Nolpe's masterful brushwork brings out every intricate detail in this historical artwork. Quint Lox has captured this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty for years to come
