Robert Thegerström (January 7, 1857 - 1919) was a Swedish painter who trained at the Swedish Royal Academy and then spent over a decade in Paris. During this time he befriended Anders Zorn and August Strindberg, among others.

Back home in Stockholm in the early 1890s, he continued to host salons, and he also helped found Konstnärsförbundet. He is well represented at Swedish museums, including the National Gallery at Grippsholm Slott, which holds this work:

Estocolmo, a rainha das águas/Stockholm – die Königin der Gewässer/

Estocolmo é a bela capital da Suécia, destino repleto de atrações interessantes! Ela foi fundada a menos de mil anos e sua criação e desenvolvimento está relacionado com sua importante posição geográfica que possibilitou ser o centro comercial, devido às rotas aquáticas, entre os intercâmbios entre os países bálticos. É uma cidade onde percebe-se que a presença de água é marcante. Ela me lembrou,…

A palace in a movie

Gripsholm Castle (Gripsholms slott, in Swedish) originated as a fortress built during the 1370s by Bo Jonsson Grip, one of the highest officials of the Swedish court during the regency of Magnus IV, which explains the name it received and kept ever since.

Throughout the 15th century, the building changed hands between Queen Margrete I and another regent, Sten Sture, whose family eventually gave it over to become a charterhouse, which remained until the Swedish Lutheran Reformation, when in 1526 King Gustav I Vasa dissolved it and returned the castle to the heirs of Sten Sture's family.

Its location on the shores of Lake Mälaren, just over 50 kilometres from Stockholm, prompted King Erik XIV to reform it into a royal residence, but it also served as a place of seclusion for the king's brother, whose son Sigismund III eventually imprisoned his uncle.

In the 17th century it served as a residence for widowed queens, before becoming a prison in the next century, only to become a royal residence again, before King Gustav IV August was deposed and imprisoned in the castle in 1809. Gripsholms slott then became a museum, until the present day.

However, Gripsholm slott was the subject of another story, that of the German journalist Kurt Tucholsky, who used the pseudonym Kaspar Hauser, the name of a young man from the 19th century who gave life to one of director Werner Herzog's most celebrated films.

Tucholsky emigrated to Sweden in 1929, warning against the imminent rise of the National Socialists to power in Germany, and dedicated one of his works to Gripsholm Castle, a romantic summer love story with autobiographical reminiscences. It was made into a film twice, in 1963 and 2000.

Tucholsky's satirical, if rather political, works may have their climax in Gripsholm's famous stuffed lion, known to be the worst taxidermy in history. The lion, a gift from the bei of Algiers to King Fredrik I, arrived in Sweden in 1731 and is considered to be the first of its kind known in Scandinavia. When the feline died, no one had ever seen one and the taxidermist did what he could.

Gripsholms slot

El castell de Gripsholm (Gripsholms slott, en suec) té el seu origen en una fortalesa bastida durant la dècada de 1370 per Bo Jonsson Grip, un dels més alts oficials de la cort sueca durant la regència de Magnus IV, la qual cosa explica el nom que va rebre i mantenir des de llavors.

Al llarg del segle XV, l’edifici va canviar de mans entre la reina Margrete I i un altre regent, Sten Sture, la família del qual va acabar cedint-lo per convertir-se en una cartoixa, que s’hi va mantenir fins a la reforma luterana sueca, quan el 1526 el rei Gustav I Vasa la va dissoldre i el va retornar als hereus de la família d’Sten Sture.

El seu emplaçament, a la riba del llac Mälaren i a poc més de 50 kilòmetres d’Estocolm, va fer que el rei Erik XIV el reformés per convertir-lo en una residència reial, tot I que també va servir com a lloc de reclusió per al germà del rei, el fill del qual, Sigismund III, va acabar empresonant-hi el seu oncle.

Al segle XVII va ser la residència de reines vídues, per a convertir-se en presó a la centúria següent, per a tornar a convertir-se en residència reial, abans que el 1809 el rei Gustav IV August fos deposat i empresonat al castell. Posteriorment, Gripsholms slott passà a convertir-se en museu, fins a l’actualitat.

No obstant, Gripsholm slott va ser protagonista d’una altra història, la del periodista alemany Kurt Tucholsky, que va fer servir el pseudònim Kaspar Hauser, nom d’un jove del segle XIX que donà vida a un dels films més cel·lebrats del director Werner Herzog.

Tucholsky va emigrar a Suècia el 1929, tot advertint contra l’imminent ascens dels nacionalsocialistes al poder a Alemanya i va dedicar una de les seves obres al castell de Gripsholm, una història romàntica d’amor d’estiu amb reminiscències autobiogràfiques. Va ser portada al cinema dues vegades, el 1963 i el 2000.

Les obres satíriques, tot i que de caràcter més aviat polític, de Tucholsky, podrien tenir el seu punt i final en el famós lleó dissecat de Gripsholm, conegut per ser considerat la pitjor taxidèrmia de la història. El lleó, un regal del bei d’Alger al rei Fredrik I, va arribar a Suècia el 1731 i es considera el primer de la seva espècie conegut a Escandinàvia. En morir el felí, ningú no n’havia vist mai un i el taxidermista va fer el que va poder.
