"Gustav II Adolf"

The statue representing Gustav II Adolf (1594-1632) is Sweden's first equestrian statue and it has a long and tangled history.
The royal estates commissioned the stay as early as 1757 from the immigrated French sculptor Pierre Hubert L'Archevêque (1721-78). His first proposal was rejected by the client and L'Archevêque had to draft a new one.
The complicated bronze casting first done in 1779 by the caster Gerhard Meyer failed and the carver Charles Adams worked for a long time on touch-up work before the statue arrived in 1791. They also failed to get the statue to stand on three legs and had to insert a support during the fourth hoof. After that, another five years of work remained before the monument was finally unveiled on November 17, 1796.
Johan Tobias Sergel (1740-1814), who was a pupil of L'Archevêque, sculpted the group at the plinth. The group imagines Axel Oxenstierna dictating Gustav Adolf's feats for history's muse Clio. The plaster model was completed in 1789, but the group was cast and mounted only in 1906. Sergel also made the field lord medallions on the sides of the plinth.
