Poor Domalde had been cursed by his stepmother and everything imaginable went wrong during his reign. It was persistent crop failures and the resultant famine that did him in. Given how good looking Larsson painted him, I would have suggested some alternate fertility enhancing ritual.

ReplyDeleteNot a good time to be king, and his stepmother also cursed his manhood !
Classic evil stepmother.
DeleteThanks for today's art lesson - for a few reasons I won't drudge through here, travel is not in the cards, so always glad to see the visual records of those who can travel. And really good photos (from a technical perspective).
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. It's not always easy to get decent photos in museums due to glare, approach angles, etc., but having a really good camera (Pixel 8 phone) helps a lot.
DeleteWhat a wonderful selection of photos from your vacation! I've never been to Sweden
ReplyDeletebut this helps to show what's in store should I go. As you know I could spend an entire day in places such as these! Lol. Thanks Jerry for your appreciation of the arts as always!
You're welcome, Pat! I highly recommend Sweden. I found the Swedes, although not the most outgoing of people, to be friendly and helpful whenever one engages with them. And if you do go, be sure to visit Uppsala. It has a fantastic university campus/vibe and some small, but outstanding museums.
DeleteThanks Jerry! Seeing what I am looking at here and on the net looks amazing, I'm ready to go now! Lol. There are a couple of friends I have in mind to travel with, ones that will indulge me and who will enjoy these places as much as I do. That's important, or leave me to my own devices and pick me up in a week or two. Lol.
DeleteLet me know how your planning goes because I may have some other suggestions.
