EDITORS COMMENTS
King Eric IX, also known as Saint Eric, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving alongside his consort, Queen Christina of Denmark. The image, created by Scrantoni for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1847, offers a captivating glimpse into the medieval splendor of the Swedish and Danish courts. Eric, dressed in regal robes and crowned with a golden diadem, holds a sceptre in one hand and an orb in the other, symbols of his royal power and authority. His solemn expression and the halo surrounding his head emphasize his sainthood, which was recognized posthumously in the 14th century due to his efforts to Christianize Sweden. Queen Christina, dressed in elegant attire and adorned with a jeweled crown, gazes tenderly at her husband. She is known for her intelligence, beauty, and strong personality, making her one of the most intriguing figures in Scandinavian history. The intricate details of their clothing, the rich colors, and the meticulous shading of the handcoloring all contribute to the captivating allure of this historical illustration. The image not only showcases the grandeur of the medieval monarchy but also provides a glimpse into the personal relationship between these two influential rulers.
