EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century oil on canvas portrait depicts Carl Gustaf Wrangel of Salmis (1613-1676), a prominent Swedish military commander during the Thirty Years War. Born in Switzerland, Wrangel rose to prominence in the Swedish army and was appointed as a field marshal in 1652. His long, fair hair and piercing blue eyes are captured in exquisite detail by the renowned German artist Matthäus Merian the Elder (1593-1650). Wrangel wears a golden sash and a decorative collar, signifying his high rank, and holds a sword at his side. The oval-shaped painting, with its rich color palette and intricate brushwork, is a testament to Merian's skill as a portrait painter. Wrangel's heritage is reflected in his Swiss origins, which are evident in his long, curly hair. The portrait is now on display at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it is a cherished part of the country's historical heritage. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life of a man who played a significant role in Swedish military history.
