Tekstblad bij de prent met het Rad van Fortuin met de dood van de Zweedse koning Karel X Gustaaf, 1660 1660

This 1660 text panel by Jan Bara is a commemorative work celebrating the life and death of King Charles X Gustav of Sweden. Written in Dutch, the text is a "rotatum omnium fatum" (wheel of fortune) describing the King's life, legacy and death, accompanied by a large, ornately decorated capital letter D. The panel is part of a larger work, a broadside print celebrating the King's life, also by Bara. This text panel highlights the historical significance of the King and his death, emphasizing his role in Swedish history and the impact of his legacy. The use of ornate text in the panel, a typical feature of Dutch broadside prints of the period, underscores the importance of the work as a visual and textual testament to the memory of the King.
