About Nationalmuseum ABOUT NATIONALMUSEUM Nationalmuseum is Sweden’s premier museum of art and design. The collections consist of paintings, sculpture and paper-based artworks from the 16th to the 20th century, and applied art and design from the 16th century to the present day. The total number of artifacts is around 700,000. The museum is located on Blasieholmen in Stockholm, in a purpose-built edifice designed by Friedrich August Stüler, a German architect, and completed in 1866. The museum’s history pre-dates the building. The collections were moved to Blasieholmen having previously, in part, been kept in the “Royal Museum” founded 1792 and since 1794 located in the north garden wing of the Royal Palace in Stockholm. Nationalmuseum incorporating Prince Eugen’s Waldemarsudde is a government authority consisting of the two museums Nationalmuseum and Prince Eugen’s Waldemarsudde. Berndt Arell is director general at Nationalmuseum, which has a staff of about 150. Every year, Nationalmuseum produces a number of major temporary exhibitions. Recent subjects have included Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec, the Pre-Raphaelites, Caspar David Friedrich, Rubens and van Dyck and the Peredvizhniki. The museum provides a large number of works on loan each year to exhibitions at other museums in Sweden and abroad. In 2015 the museum’s new design arena, Nationalmuseum Design, opened at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern. Extensive research is conducted at Nationalmuseum, using the museum’s own collections as a starting point. A dedicated research department, opened in 1997, incorporates the museum’s archives and publications department and the Art Library (Konstbiblioteket), one of the largest art libraries in the Nordic countries, a resource shared with Moderna Museet. The museum also has a conservation department, with special expertise in the various types of artifact in each collection. The department works on preserving the artworks and collaborates with the research department on technical studies. 1(6) The museum’s activities extend beyond the building on Blasieholmen. For example, the Swedish National Portrait Gallery at Gripsholm Castle is also part of Nationalmuseum. Nationalmuseum also has full or partial responsibility for managing art collections at various museums and tourist attractions across Sweden. These include Drottningholm Palace, Läckö Castle, Leufsta Manor, Vadstena Castle and the Gustavsberg Porcelain Museum among others. The Orangery Museum at Ulriksdal and the Museum de Vries house major parts of the museum’s sculpture collection. Nationalmuseum is currently going through the first truly comprehensive renovation of the building on Blasieholmen since it was built in 1866. The renovation work means that the building will be closed until 2017. The collections continue to be exhibited through temporary exhibition venues at Konstakademien and Nationalmuseum Design at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern in Stockholm, as well as various partnerships with other museums, both in Sweden and abroad. THE COLLECTIONS Early history A large number of works in the museum’s collections derive from royal collecting over many generations. Of the works previously in royal ownership, many were acquired on the basis of personal preference, but there are also several examples of items that entered the royal collections in the 17th century as spoils of war. In May 1632, Swedish troops captured Munich, where Gustavus Adolphus exacted a heavy toll on the collections of Elector Maximilian I. Nationalmuseum’s current collection contains Ludwig Refinger’s Horatius Cocles Stopping Porsenna’s Army before Rome and Combat between Manlius Torquatus and a Gaul, and Melchior Feselen’s Alesia besieged by Julius Caesar. In late July 1648, during the final stages of the Thirty Years War, the Swedes took parts of Rudolf II’s formerly extensive art collections in Prague. The booty included paintings by Albrecht Dürer, Paolo Veronese and Giuseppe Arcimboldo, bronze figures by Adriaen de Vries and a number of other valuable objets d’art. Of the paintings, 60 pieces now remain in Nationalmuseum’s collection and the Swedish National Portrait Gallery. The majority of the sculptures by Adriaen de Vries have remained in Sweden, where most of them were placed in Drottningholm Park in the late 17th century. The originals are now in the Museum de Vries and Nationalmuseum. 2(6) Basis of the current collection Many of the works that now form the core of Nationalmuseum’s pre-19th century painting collection originate mainly from a handful of collectors: Carl Gustaf Tessin, Queen Lovisa Ulrika, King Adolf Fredrik and King Gustav III. These collections were dominated by Dutch, French and Gustavian Swedish painting, which thus greatly influenced the composition of Nationalmuseum’s present-day collection. Several of the works in Nationalmuseum’s 18th-century French painting collection once belonged to Queen Lovisa Ulrika. In 1777 the queen’s financial situation became untenable, partly as a result of expensive collecting on a large scale. Her son, Sweden’s then King Gustav III, settled her debts in return for her surrendering her collections along with Drottningholm Palace. The fact that the king used government funds rather than his own was of lasting significance to today’s Nationalmuseum, since this prevented the collections from being dispersed through inheritance. Carl Gustaf Tessin undoubtedly has had the greatest influence on the museum’s collections, not least because many of the works in Adolf Fredrik’s and Lovisa Ulrika’s collections were there thanks to his efforts. Among others he had acquired paintings by Nicolas Lancret, Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin and François Boucher’s Triumph of Venus, which was exhibited at the 1740 Salon. He also acquired Rembrandt’s Portrait of Young Woman in Profile and Constantin Verhout’s Sleeping Student. Swedish art collection In the 19th Century the collection was not so well endowed when it came to contemporary painting, owing to the museum’s classical focus and years of weak finances. In 1845 the museum purchased its first work by a living artist, Italian Bandits Abducting Women by Alexander Lauréus. In 1856 the museum was allocated a budget for purchasing modern Swedish art. Acquisition of works by Josef Magnus Stäck, Marcus Larsson, Amalia Lindegren, Carl Wahlbom, Johan Fredrik Höckert, Mårten Eskil Winge, Josef Wilhelm Wallander and Alfred Wahlberg followed. A donation by Karl XV was also to be of great importance to the Swedish collection. In 1872 he donated the bulk of his collection of contemporary Swedish and Nordic painting, about 400 works, to Nationalmuseum. The years that followed would be dominated by two points of view regarding acquisitions: one faction advocated historical painting, while the other was concerned that the museum’s acquisitions should reflect developments in art. The situation mirrored a similar argument playing out at the same time within the Academy of Fine Arts, between the older generation and the younger. 3(6) Expansion of Swedish and French 19th-century art At the beginning of the 20th century the director general Richard Bergh, himself an artist, was troubled by the gaps in the collection resulting from the poorly coordinated acquisition strategy of the previous decades. What was missing was mainly works by the Opponents, although some major works by these artists had been acquired for the collection in the past. Many of the most significant works from the 1880s and 90s had already been acquired by other museums in Sweden and Scandinavia, so this was considered a matter of urgency. 1915 Bergh launched an appeal among wealthy art lovers, which resulted in the donation of six paintings by Carl Fredrik Hill, twelve works by Ernst Josephson, ten by Nils Kreuger and five by Karl Nordström. The works donated are now a staple feature of exhibitions from the museum’s collections. Another area that Bergh wanted to improve was 19th-century French art. Shortly before his appointment, the museum had purchased some works by Edgar Degas and Alfred Sisley, with financial assistance from the Friends of Nationalmuseum and others. Anders Zorn had donated Edouard Manet’s Pear Peeler, but the collection remained very modest in numerical terms. In 1916 a pastel by Degas and a landscape by Paul Cézanne were bought and in the autumn of that year Bergh acquired some further works with the help of donors, including Auguste Renoir’s Conversation and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s Tightrope Walker. The year after Manet’s Parisienne, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot’s Red Cliffs of Civita Castellana and Théodore Géricault’s Severed Heads were acquired through a cooperation with a number of private collectors. Thanks to Bergh’s efforts, and subsequent purchases and donations, Nationalmuseum’s collection of 19th-century French art expanded considerably. When the collector Klas Fåhræus was forced to sell his collection for financial reasons in 1926, the museum managed, with the aid of the Friends of Nationalmuseum, to acquire works including Auguste Renoir’s At Mother Anthony’s Inn, Gustave Courbet’s Jo, the Beautiful Irishwoman, and Cézanne’s Still Life with Figurine. In several instalments, Grace and Philip Sandblom donated significant works by Eugène Delacroix, Courbet and Cézanne. Other highlights include Renoir’s La Grenouillère, which was donated to the museum in 1924 by an anonymous donor through the Friends of Nationalmuseum. During Richard Bergh’s tenure, modernism also entered the museum. Over the next few decades, Nationalmuseum actively acquired 20th-century art, for which the exhibition space was rather limited. In 1958, Moderna Museet (the Museum of Modern Art) opened in a former naval drill hall on Skeppsholmen, and 20th-century art had its own premises. 4(6) Engraving and drawing collection Nationalmuseum’s collection of drawings and graphic art comprises some 500,000 pages in total, dating from the Late Middle Ages to around 1900. The core of the collection consists of more than 2,000 master drawings purchased by Carl Gustaf Tessin in Paris in 1742 at the auction of the French collector Pierre Crozat’s estate.

  • Enlightened Monarchy” in Practice
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Helsingin yliopiston digitaalinen arkisto “Enlightened Monarchy” in Practice. Reforms, Ceremonies, Self-Fashioning and the Entanglement of Ideals and Values in Late Eighteenth-Century Sweden Henrika Tandefelt This article sets out to study the entanglement of different political, ideological and moral ideals and traditions in the Kingship of Gustav III, King of Sweden 1772–1792. Political thinking and practice in Eighteenth-Century Europe offered many elements and examples that different monarchs could apply in their own particular circumstances. Gustav III was one of the European Kings that openly supported the French enlightened thinkers fashioning himself as a Reformer-King. He was also very influenced by the French culture over all, and the culture of the traditional royal court in particular. In addition the Swedish political history with a fifty-year period of decreased royal power before the coup d’état of Gustav III in 1772 influenced how the European trends and traditions were put into practice. The article pursues to understand the way different elements were bound up together and put to action by the King in his coup d’état 1772, his law reforms in the 1770s and in the establishment of a court of appeal in the town Vasa in Ostrobothnia in 1776 and the ceremonial, pictorial and architectural projects linked to this. In this article I examine what has been called the enlightened absolutism of the Swedish king Gustav III (1746–1792) during his reign of 1772–1792. Gustav III’s reign began with a royal coup d’état in August 1772 and ended with the king being murdered during a masquerade ball at the Royal Opera in Stockholm in March 1792.

Oscar Gustaf Adolf, who would later become Gustav, or Gustavus V, was born on June 16, 1858, in Stockholm's magnificent Drottningholm Palace. He was the eldest son of Oscar II, King of Sweden and Norway, which were united under one monarch until 1905, when Norway asserted its independence. Though a member of the royal house of Bernadotte, Crown Prince Gustaf was an unassuming young man who did not value regal pretensions. He was educated at the University of Uppsala. On a trip to Britain in 1878, he learned the game of tennis, which became a life-long passion. He often played incognito, under the pseudonym "Mr. G." In 1881, Crown Prince Gustaf married Victoria of Baden, a political union that united the Bernadottes with the former Swedish royal house of Vasa. Though they had three sons, the couple did not have a close relationship. Victoria's health was not good and she spent many months each year at the Swedish resort island of Solliden, Öland or on Capri in Italy.
