The story behind the motif
Canvas print with motif of Carl XV's favorite horse Gentleman by artist John Arsenius.
Carl XV, also known as Karl XV, reigned as King of Sweden and Norway from 1859 until his death in 1872. Gentleman was a stately English Thoroughbred stallion and was considered one of the king's most prized horses. With his elegance and strength, Gentleman became a symbol of the king's passion for horsemanship and the sport of hunting. The king and Gentleman spent many hours together during the hunting season and at various royal ceremonies, which strengthened their bond and made Gentleman a well-known figure in the king's life.
The work is a tribute to the Swedish King Carl XV's deep love for horses, especially his horse Gentleman. The painting depicts an important part of the history of the Swedish royal family.
Artist: John Arsenius (1818-1903) | Created: 1854.
