Porträtt. Gustav II Adolf. Merian
Description

Depicted person: Gustav II Adolf av Sverige

Svenska: Höftbild, fas vänster. "Polsk dräkt" med röd vitbroderad kappa och gult kyller, röd hatt. I högra handen käpp. I bakgrunden nya bron i Frankfurt am Main.
AT lapp med påskrift: "Kon: Gustav Adolph. orginal målat två veckor före dess död". Kilad spännram.
Möjligen målad av Matthaeus Merian den yngre, eventuellt efter kopparstick av Merian den äldre.

The portrait depicts King Gustavus Adolphus in what traditionally has been described as a Polish costume with a red jacket decorated with braid, velvet cuffs, a lace collar and a red hat, with a view of Frankfurt-am-Main in the background. During the years 1631 and 1632, Gustavus Adolphus operated a campaign to be elected King of Poland, where his aging cousin, and arch enemy, Sigismund III still held the throne. Poland was a kingdom by election and this portrait should therefore be seen as an instrument of propaganda for the election of the throne.
According to reports from eye-witnesses the King wore this coat when he entered Frankfurt-am-Main in 1631. The view over the New Bridge in the upper right corner of the canvas should be a familiar one for Merian, as it ought to be the same as the one seen from his studio in the city. It has been argued that this portrait was actually painted by Matthaeus Merian the Younger, after the original engraving by Merian the Elder.

Photograph
Public domain
This Swedish photograph is in the public domain in Sweden because one of the following applies:
  • The photograph does not reach the Swedish threshold of originality (common for snapshots and journalistic photos) and was created before 1 January 1974 (SFS 1960:729, § 49a).
  • The photograph was published anonymously before 1 January 1954 and the author did not reveal their identity during the following 70 years (SFS 1960:729, § 44).

For photos in the first category created before 1969, also {{PD-1996}} usually applies. For photos in the second category published before 1929, also {{PD-US-expired}} usually applies.

If the photographer died before 1954, {{PD-old-70}} should be used instead of this tag. If the author died before 1926, also {{PD-1996}} usually applies.
You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
