Description
English: Christina ruled over an expansive superpower. There are several details in this portrait of her that point to interests far beyond Sweden’s borders: the shimmering silk, the citrus blossoms in her hair, and the idealized landscape that fades away in the distance. The rich folds of the dress, the elegant turn of the body, and the sense of capturing the fleeting moment—she is just looking up from reading a letter—were highly fashionable elements in portraiture at the time. The artist was, after all, trained in London by Anthony van Dyck, the leading portraitist of the Baroque.
Svenska: Kristina regerade över en expansiv stormakt. I porträttet av henne finns flera detaljer som pekar på intressen långt utanför Sveriges gränser: det glänsande sidentyget, citrusblommorna i håret och ideallandskapet som tonar bort i fjärran. Klädernas rika veck, den eleganta kroppsvridningen och ögonblickskaraktären – hon tittar just upp från läsningen av ett brev – var högsta mode inom porträttkonsten. Så var också konstnären skolad i London hos Anthonis van Dyck, barockens ledande porträttmålare.
