EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Christina, Queen of Sweden, in all her regal glory. Painted by David Beck, her court painter, this oil on copper masterpiece measures 23x17.3 cm and is currently housed in Livrustkammaren (The Royal Armoury) in Stockholm, Sweden. Queen Christina's reign from 1632 to 1654 was marked by her remarkable decision to abdicate the throne. This intriguing portrait captures her half-length stature with a sense of authority and elegance befitting a monarch. Dressed in opulent attire adorned with intricate details, she exudes an air of confidence that reflects her strong-willed personality. As one gazes at this painting, it becomes evident that Beck skillfully captured not only Queen Christina's physical features but also the essence of her character. Her piercing gaze hints at a complex inner world filled with ambition and determination. This artwork serves as a testament to both the artist's talent and his close relationship with the queen herself. It is said that this painting belonged solely to Queen Christina – a personal possession cherished by royalty. Through this portrait, we are transported back in time to witness the power and influence held by one woman during an era dominated by men. It stands as a reminder of Queen Christina's significant impact on Swedish history and leaves us captivated by her timeless allure.
