EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century print, titled "The Marriage of Charles X Gustavus, 1654," by Jurgen Ovens, depicts the consummation ceremony after the wedding of King Carl Gustav of Sweden and Queen Hedwig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp. The newlyweds, dressed in regal attire, lie on a grand four-poster bed, surrounded by a hagiographical scene filled with cherubs, angels, and amorini. The room is bathed in candlelight, casting a warm and inviting glow on the couple and their attendants. King Charles X Gustav, also known as Carolus Gustavus, is shown gazing lovingly at his bride, while Queen Hedwig Eleonora, dressed in a sumptuous gown, looks demurely at the ground. A greyhound, a symbol of fidelity and loyalty, lies at the foot of the bed. The scene exudes an air of opulence and romance, reflecting the grandeur of the Swedish court during this period. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 17th century, and the influence of Christianity on European art is evident in the inclusion of cherubs and angels. The black and grey tones add depth and contrast to the image, making it a striking and memorable work of art. This print is a beautiful representation of the consummation ceremony, a significant moment in the lives of the newlyweds, and a reminder of the grandeur and elegance of the European court during the 17th century.
