Bilder Gabriel Bodenehr (c.1664–1729) – Palace of the Knights in Stockholm – Copperplate Engraving (early 18th Century)
Beskrivning
This finely detailed copperplate engraving presents the Riddarhuset (“Palace of the Knights”) in Stockholm, shown in a sweeping frontal view that emphasizes its monumental Baroque façade, steep roofs and statuary-adorned balustrades. Figures in period dress—aristocrats on horseback, carriages and strolling pedestrians—animate the foreground, conveying the building’s civic and ceremonial importance as the assembly hall of Sweden’s nobility. The precision of the architectural lines, the play of light across the masonry, and the careful rendering of rooftop ornaments reflect both Bodenehr’s technical mastery and the era’s fascination with topographical representation.
Gabriel Bodenehr (c.1664–1729) was a German engraver and publisher based in Augsburg, celebrated for his series of European city views and architectural plates that combined documentary accuracy with Baroque elegance.
