“Queen Bitterblue wielded the letter opener in one hand like a sword, a calm, ferocious expression on her face.”

characters that got stuck in my brain from 2018

Queen Lovisa Ulrika of Sweden by Lorens Pasch the Younger (oil on canvas, 1768)

The talented, highly educated Lovisa Ulrika became one of Sweden's leading cultural figures. No other Swedish queen has left more of a mark on the theatre, and she also breathed new life into royal entertainment. She built up the palace theatres at Drottningholm and Ulriksdal.

Lovisa Ulrika was influenced by the ideals of the French Enlightenment. As a queen, she used the resources at her disposal to promote culture and science. For example, she supported the Swedish writer Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht and was also a patron of Carl Linnaeus.

In 1753, Lovisa Ulrika established the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, a centre of knowledge for research within the humanities.

Queen Lovisa of Sweden as a princess, copy of original by Nicaise de Keyser (oil on canvas, original 1850)

The future Queen Lovisa is depicted on a terrace with roses and ivy. She wears a white dress with delicate lace.

The portrait is regarded as being highly flattering, and as a future queen she had all the qualities the royal court was looking for. She was a Protestant and politically suitable, and came from a wealthy family.

The painting was produced by an unknown copyist, based on an original by the Belgian painter Nicaise de Keyser.

The portrait can be seen in the Bernadotte Gallery at the Royal Palace of Stockholm.
