EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait, created by the Dutch draughtsman Georg Desmarees in 1723, captures the elegant and sophisticated image of Nicodemus Tessin the Younger (1654-1728), a renowned Swedish architect of the Baroque era. Tessin is depicted in a richly colored and intricately detailed outfit typical of the 17th and 18th centuries. He wears a long, flowing mantle, a high-collared shirt, and a voluminous wig that adds to his regal appearance. The oil on canvas painting shows Tessin seated, with a thoughtful expression on his face, as if deep in contemplation. Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Tessin the Younger was the son of the famous Swedish architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder. He followed in his father's footsteps and became one of the most influential architects of his time. Tessin's designs were characterized by their grandeur, symmetry, and intricate detail, reflecting the Baroque style that was popular during the period. The portrait, which is now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a testament to the fashion and style of the time. The use of vibrant colors and intricate textures in Tessin's clothing, as well as the meticulous attention to detail in the painting itself, make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art. Desmarees' portrait of Tessin the Younger is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Sweden during the Baroque era and the important role that Tessin played in shaping the country's architectural landscape. The painting continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance, making it a must-see for anyone interested in art, fashion, or Swedish history.
