Swedish Royal Ancestry Book 4 1751-Present
GRANHOLM GENEALOGY SWEDISH ANCESTRY Recent Royalty (1751 - Present) INTRODUCTION Our Swedish ancestry is quite comprehensive as it covers a broad range of the history. For simplicity the information has been presented in four different books. Book 1 – Mythical to Viking Era (? – 1250) Book 2 – Folkunga Dynasty (1250 – 1523) Book 3 – Vasa Dynasty (1523 – 1751) Book 4 – Recent Royalty (1751 – Present) Book 4 covers the most recent history including the wars with Russia that eventually led to the loss of Finland to Russia and the emergence of Finland as an independent nation as well as the history of Sweden during World Wars I and II. A list is included showing our relationship with the royal family according to the lineage from Nils Kettilsson Vasa. The relationship with the spouses is also shown although these are from different ancestral lineages. Text is included for those which are highlighted in the list.

The Holistic Portrait Peter Michael Hornung, Editor
88 THE HOLISTIC PORTRAIT By Peter Michael Hornung, Editor and Art Critic at “Politiken” Like other artists in our chaotically picture rich modern age, the painter Ralph Heimans also owes a professional debt to the art that preceded his own work his- torically. However, though he may have turned to it, asked it questions and drawn inspiration from it, he has never copied it. On the other hand, though, his personal standpoint as an artist is a result of the inspiration he drew from it. No one can create anything lasting and valuable without swearing some sort of oath to history, and any artist, even the most rebellious and experimental (or the opposite), must inscribe his or her work in a development, in which he or she serves as a link between past and future: between what went before and maybe influenced them, and what will come after and perhaps be coloured by them. This applies particularly to any artist who has chosen portrait painting as his or her sphere. In this field, the models extend far back in history. The need to be portrayed has existed for as long as there has been people with power and influ- ence: people who wished to be notably present, not only in their age, but also for posterity. Portraits are like memories. With the right degree of likeness they pos- sess the special capacity to make absent people present. Consideration for this likeness is also the reason why people still allow themselves to be painted, model- led, photographed, sketched etc. Heimans’ success as an artist in this historic genre lies not only in the fact that his paintings present a ‘likeness’, as it is referred to in the profession: in other words, that there is a clear and visible correspondence between the character appearing in the painting and the person who was the reason for that painting, and whom the painting must either remind us of or introduce us to. -

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. -
Rococo in Scandinavia (Copenhagen, 30 - 31 May 17)
Rococo in Scandinavia (Copenhagen, 30 - 31 May 17) Copenhagen (Denmark), May 30–31, 2017 Registration deadline: May 29, 2017 Corinne Thépaut-Cabasset, Victoria and Albert Museum International scientific conference 30-31 May 2017 Palais Thott, Copenhagen In 2017, in Copenhagen, the conference “The Rococo in Scandinavia” will explore the many ways in which the history of style affected the arts and the culture of Scandinavia over the course of the long Eighteenth century by exploring the Rococo stream. The past years in Copenhagen have shown an interest for rococo culture. After ROKOKO MANIA fashion exhibition at the Designmuseum Denmark in 2012, and in 2016 the first monograph of the most eminent 18th century painter in Scandinavia, Carl Gustaf Pilo, by the Danish art historian Charlotte Christensen, and the William Hogarth’s Treaty of Beauty at the Statens Museum for Kunst (2016). These past events demonstrate the obvious potential in developing this topic in Den- mark. The study of the dissemination of Rococo in Scandinavia has never been addressed in a public forum. This is why and how the idea of having a conference in Copenhagen emerged and was developed, and ought to happen in Scandinavia under the auspices of the French Embassy in Den- mark. This conference will convene for the first time 18th century experts from Denmark, Germany, Fin- land, France, Sweden and America in a public forum about the Rococo in Scandinavia.

Festival 2009
ISSN 0905-4391 July-August 2009 Danish Westindian Society 44. Year, ed. 3 Protektor: Hendes Majestæt Dronningen Festival 2009 1 Welcome to Festival 2009 Dear friends It is a great pleasure once again to welcome our friends from St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John. For several months the Festival Committee and its chairman Walther Damgaard has been preparing this Festival and as this is the 11th time it is being held here in Denmark, we hope our ex- perience in planning shows in the contains of the program. The structure of the 2 weeks are based on former festivals, due to the very positive response we received from participants in the 9th and 10th Festivals. Although the structure is the same, the daily program is in most cases different from former Festivals. Besides showing you different parts of Denmark, our goal has been both to show you the sights a normal tourist would see like the Amalienborg Castle and the Cathedral of Copenhagen, as well as showing you what we Danes call typical and more down to earth activities such as lunch with smørrebrød (open sandwiches), a leisure garden and Nørrebro (working-class district of Copenhagen). Our Farewell Party will be held in the big hall in the Workers’ Museum. If you participated in the 1993 Festival I am sure you can remember the place, as we had a marvellous party there. 2 Whereas the Festival Committee can plan the perfect program, it is not possible to plan the Danish summer weather. So if it rains and you will need warm and rainproof clothes, I hope you will take it as an exotic adventure. -

Collecting for Russia's Apothecary and Botanical
SEEDS OF EXCHANGE: COLLECTING FOR RUSSIA’S APOTHECARY AND BOTANICAL GARDENS IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES BY RACHEL KOROLOFF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor John W. Randolph, Chair Professor Mark D. Steinberg Professor Richard W. Burkhardt Associate Professor Kelly O’Neill Abstract This dissertation follows the collection and cultivation of plants in the Russian Empire for medicinal and botanical purposes from the beginning of the seventeenth to the end of the eighteenth centuries. It focuses on the itineraries of collection and the spaces of cultivation established by herbalists, doctors, and naturalists in the employ of the Apothecary (Medical) Chancellery and the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. In doing so it investigates how methods of botanical collection, including specific itineraries, influenced the creation spaces of botanical cultivation, including gardens, collections of correspondence and regional Floras. This juxtaposition and analysis of the mutual influence between routes and gardens ultimately attempts to explore how mobility and space intersected with the production of natural knowledge in the early modern Russian context. The first chapter of this dissertation, “Travniki and the Chancellery,” details the seventeenth-century network of itinerant herbalists [travniki] who collected plants, flowers, roots and seeds seasonally for the Apothecary Chancellery’s pharmacies and gardens. The travels of the Chancellery’s travniki are contrasted with the trade in materia medica, which included medicinal plants as well as chemical medicines, found in the herb stalls [zeleinye riady] of Moscow’s trading quarters. -
