  • Configuring Virtue: the Emergence of Abstraction, Allegoresis and Emblem in Swedish Figural Sculpture of the Seventeenth Century
    Simon McKeown CONFIGURING VIRTUE: THE EMERGENCE OF ABSTRACTION, ALLEGORESIS AND EMBLEM IN SWEDISH FIGURAL SCULPTURE OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY In 1642, the Amsterdam engraver, Crispijn de Passe the Younger pub- lished an unusual emblem book called Den Onderganck des Roomschen Arents door den Noordschen Leeuw (“The Overthrow of the Roman Eagle by the Northern Lion”).1 This work was a hagiographical memorial of the brief, but glorious, intervention of the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Years’ War published ten years after his death, and some seven years after that of the book’s author, the preacher Bartholomaeus Hulsius.2 In one of the book’s twenty-nine plates, De Passe presents us with a prospect of Gustavus Adolphus’ mausoleum in Stockholm (Fig. 1). It is depicted as an effigial monument with the figure of the king recum- bent on top of a chest-tomb. He rests under a broad canopy supported by six female statues which act as a species of caryatid. Four of the statues are fully visible to the viewer, and by their attributes are easily readable as personifications of the Cardinal Virtues. From left to right, we find Iustitia (Justice) with sword and scales, Fortitudo (Fortitude) with a col- umn, Temperantia (Temperance) diluting a flagon of wine with water, and DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12697/BJAH.2015.9.05 1 Bartholomaeus Hulsius, Den Onderganck des Roomschen Arents door den Noordschen Leeuw (Amsterdam: Crispijn de Passe the Younger, 1642). 2 Concerning this work, see Simon McKeown, “A Reformed and Godly Leader: Bartholomaeus Hulsius’s Typological Emblems in Praise of Gustavus Adolphus”, Reformation 5 (2000), 55-101.

  • Restaurants Closing During the Summer Months (2016)
    JUNE 22, 2016 Restaurants Closing During the Summer Months (2016) This post may come as bad news, at least for "foodies" visiting Stockholm in July and early August. Many top tier restaurants (Michelin star, gourmet) close for a few weeks during the summer. This is mainly due to the generous Swedish vacation rules leading many top restaurants to feel that they can't offer excellent food & service with summer replacement staff. Another reason, perhaps, is that many Stockholmers leave the city during this period and there aren't enough visiting "foodies" to fill these types of restaurants to make it profitable. No businessmen in town either... wining & dining clients. At any rate, the good news is that there are a few which will be open all summer and several other top restaurants have some other options during these weeks... and you always have a plethora of other great restaurants in the city to choose from! Most of these restaurants are also closed during the big Midsummer holiday weekend (June 24th-26th). Michelin star and Bib Gourmand restaurants: • Mathias Dahlgren- closed between July 15th and August 9th (both the Dining Room and the Food Bar). • Frantzén- closes on July 9th. Reopening at a new & better location in 2017! • Oaxen Krog- open all summer as normal. • Oaxen Slip- open all summer... every day for lunch & dinner. • Gastrologik- open all summer, though their more casual Speceriet will be closed until the beginning of August for renovations. • Ekstedt- closed between July 17th and August 5th. • Esperanto- the dining room is closed between June 24th and August 5th.
