About the Item
Title: "Maritime Elegance: A Dahlberg View from 'Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna'"
Description: This captivating hand-colored copper engraving is a piece from "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna," a monumental work by Erik von Dahlberg that celebrated the grandeur of Sweden between 1693 and 1714. The image portrays a waterfront estate, with architectural finesse and symmetry in its design, reflective of the period's baroque style.
The foreground is animated with maritime activity, featuring ships of various sizes moored near the docks, indicating the importance of naval commerce and transportation. The detailed reflection in the calm waters suggests a tranquil port, while the background is adorned with rolling hills and vineyards, adding to the serene landscape.
The sky, filled with soft clouds against a pale backdrop, crowns the scene with a sense of vastness and openness. Above the image, a coat of arms is present, possibly denoting the royal or noble status of the estate's ownership.
As a part of Dahlberg's ambitious project to document the glory of Sweden, this print would have been aimed at showcasing the nation's prosperity and sophisticated infrastructure. It serves as an impressive example of the artistry involved in topographical engravings of the time and remains a valuable historical record of Sweden's cultural heritage.
