David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl, master of the baroque

His famous works demonstrate a taste for monumentality tempered by attention to detail, such as embroidery and court accessories. In the artistic context of his time, Ehrenstrahl blends theatrical grandeur with intimate sensitivity, making each painting a historical document as much as a work of art.
