Descreeption
English: This painting shows the moment when the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf is killed on the battlefield at Lützen on 6 November, 1632. The brightly illuminated body of the dead king appears to be sliding off his horse, only to be caught by a horrified Swedish soldier. The king is portrayed as a hero and a martyr, a figure distinctly reminiscent of renditions of the dead Christ. But Wahlbom has also utilised the potential of the scene to show off his strongest technical skill – that of painting horses in various movements and light.
Svenska: Målningen skildrar det ögonblick då Gustav II Adolf dödas på slagfältet vid Lützen den 6 november 1632. Den döde kungen, starkt belyst, tycks glida ned från hästryggen för att strax fångas upp av en förfärad svensk soldat. Kungen framställs som hjälte och martyr, en gestalt som påminner starkt om skildringar av den döde Kristus. Samtidigt har Wahlbom utnyttjat scenens möjligheter
