About the Item

The engraving is a historical depiction of Rosersberg Castle, a baroque estate in Sweden. These engravings, often created in the 1690s as part of Erik Dahlberg's collection, typically showcase a bird's-eye view of the castle and its elaborate gardens. Such prints are valuable for their detailed representation of Swedish architectural heritage from the era of baroque grandeur. They usually feature notable age-related toning and wear, indicative of their antique status. These pieces of art are collectibles that capture the essence and grandiosity of Swedish noble estates during the period. More about Rosenberg Castle: Rosersberg Palace is one of the royal palaces of Sweden. The palace, built in the 1630s, was originally a possession of the Oxenstierna family. It was given to the Swedish royal family in 1762, specifically to Duke Karl, who later became King Karl XIII. The palace is situated near the town of Sigtuna and on the shores of Lake Mälaren, outside of Stockholm. The architecture of the palace was influenced by both French and Dutch styles. It incorporates a French Baroque garden designed by Tessin the Younger, which was known for being one of the most lavish gardens in Sweden at the time of its creation. Over the years, parts of the garden have become overgrown or lost. The castle's name, Rosersberg, comes from the mother of the estate’s founder, Gabriel Bengtsson Oxenstierna, who was descended from the prestigious Tre Rosor (Three Roses) family. Today, Rosersberg stands as a well-preserved example of Swedish castle architecture and is known for the remarkably well-preserved interiors from the 1790s, which provide a unique picture of the royal life and decor of the period. The palace is open for guided tours, offering visitors a glimpse into its rich history and preserved furnishings. It is considered one of Sweden's hidden gems among its royal palaces due to its relatively unknown status compared to other palatial residences in the country. More about the artists and style: Engravings for this collection were made by various artists, often including French and Dutch engravers who specialized in detailed plates. The print captures the architectural and landscaping style of the period, with figures in period attire adding life to the scene. The manor is presented with a detailed garden, emphasizing the grandeur and elegance of Swedish noble estates in the 17th century. More about the work it is from: The engraving is from the "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna," a large work that includes engravings of various Swedish castles, towns, and other significant buildings from the 17th century. The coat of arms included in the image indicates that it is part of a noble or royal depiction. The "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna" was overseen by Erik Dahlbergh, and many of the engravings were produced by notable engravers of the time, including Willem Swidde and Jan van den Aveelen, among others. The detailed work and style are consistent with the engravings found in Dahlbergh's collection, which often included the crests or coats of arms of the nobility associated with the castles or regions depicted.
