Gezicht op slot Rosersberg, vanuit de binnenplaats en het oosten 1695

Willem Swidde’s 1695 engraving, “Gezicht op slot Rosersberg, vanuit de binnenplaats en het oosten,” depicts two views of the Rosersberg Palace in Sweden. The top image shows the courtyard, while the bottom view showcases the gardens. Swidde, who was active during the Dutch Golden Age, was known for his architectural drawings and cityscapes. The artist died in 1697 at the young age of 36. Both views are rendered in detail, highlighting the palace’s imposing facade and the carefully manicured gardens. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable document of 17th-century architecture and landscape design.
