EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving showcases a significant moment in Swedish and European history, featuring the iconic figures of King Charles XIV John of Sweden (1764-1844) and Jean Baptiste Bernadotte (1763-1844), the future King of Sweden and Norway. The image, created during the 19th century, highlights the unique bond between these two influential men. Born as Jean Baptiste Jules Bernadotte in France, Bernadotte rose through the ranks of the French military to become a Marshal under Napoleon Bonaparte. However, his ambitions extended beyond military conquests. Seeking a throne, he turned his gaze towards Sweden, which was in the midst of political turmoil. In 1810, Bernadotte was elected as the heir to the Swedish throne, and in 1818, he ascended to the throne as King Charles XIV John. King Charles XIV John's reign marked the beginning of the current ruling House of Bernadotte in Sweden. He is depicted here in his regal attire, adorned with the insignia of his power. Bernadotte, on the other hand, is shown in his military uniform, symbolizing his military background and his role as a military leader that brought him to the throne. This image is a testament to the intriguing intersection of military prowess, political ambition, and historical change. It offers a glimpse into the lives of these two remarkable men and the significant impact they had on the history of Sweden and Norway. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the engraving further enhance its historical and artistic value.
