EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Charles XIV John of Sweden, also known as Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte. Created by Francois Pigeot in 1839, this portrait showcases the King of Sweden and Norway in his full military attire. Born in France, Bernadotte had a remarkable career in the French Army before becoming Marshal of France under Napoleon I. Despite their tumultuous relationship, his service to France came to an end when he was elected heir to the Swedish throne in 1810. The image depicts Charles XIV John standing confidently with a baton in hand, symbolizing his authority as both a military leader and monarch. His elaborate epaulettes adorned with gold braid add an air of prestige to his uniform. The attention to detail is striking - from the intricate engravings on his boots to the fine gloves he wears. This print is part of "Galerie Des Marechaux De France" dedicated to honoring notable figures from both land and sea forces. It serves as a testament not only to Charles XIV John's historical significance but also highlights the artistry and craftsmanship involved in capturing such portraits during that era. With its rich history and exquisite detailing, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the life and legacy of one of Sweden's most influential kings.
