About the Item
Title: "Vibyholm Castle: A Baroque Gem in Dahlbergh's Collection"
Description: This splendid hand-colored engraving from the 1670s features Vibyholm Castle, a notable example of Swedish baroque architecture, as captured by the eminent military engineer and artist Erik Dahlbergh. The engraving is further attributed to the skilled hand of Jean Marot, a renowned engraver of the time.
The image presents a front view of the castle, with its elaborate façades and distinctive twin towers, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of the baroque era. The coat of arms adorning the top center of the print signifies the noble status associated with the estate.
In the foreground, the castle's grounds are depicted with a sense of liveliness and scale. Figures can be seen moving about, some strolling in conversation and others possibly attending to the maintenance of the grounds, indicating the vibrant life that once pervaded the castle.
Dahlbergh, commissioned to document the architectural marvels of Sweden, produced works that were not only artistic achievements but also historical records of the country’s cultural heritage. This print of Vibyholm Castle, with its attention to detail and rich coloring, is a testament to the grand vision Dahlbergh had for his collection, which celebrated Sweden's stature during its time as a great European power. The engraving remains a treasured piece for its depiction of Sweden's architectural history and the artistic legacy of the 17th century.
Vibyholm Castle (Swedish: Vibyholms slott) is a manor house at Årdala, Flen Municipality, Sweden. The main building is located on an island in Lake Båven.
Vibyholm was built between 1622 and 1630 in Dutch High Renaissance style under design by Dutch architect Caspar van Panten (1585-1630). Restoration was made in 1798 following drawings by Swedish architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell (1766-1837). In the middle of the 19th century, restoration to the house was undertaken under the direction of Swedish architect Lars Jacob von Röök (1778-1867).
