Bust of David Von Schulzenheim, Signed by Erik Gustav Göthe, Sweden, Dated 1821

About the Item

Bust of David von Schulzenheim, owner of Gröönsö castle, signed by Erik Gustav Göthe, a principle of Sergel and inscribed: David Schulz v. Schulzenheim. / MDCCCXXI plaster, Dated 1821 This is a bust of Dr. David von Schulzenheim, owner of Grönsöö Slott. In the 18th Century Grönsöö Slott was owned by the famed Stockholm doctor David von Schultzenheim. Dr. von Schulzenheim introduced the smallpox vaccine to Sweden and served the public’s health needs during its crisis from 1873 – 1874. When not in public health service, he devoted a significant amount of passion and money to beautify the palace and park in the romantic spirit of the time. The castle blossomed towards the end of the 18th century with the palace’s upper floors serving as the residential apartments of the family and furnished in exquisite Gustavian and late Gustavian style. Never one to rest on his laurels in science or design, in 1786, with the smallpox outbreak leveling, Dr. von Schulzenheim ordered the construction of a Chinese pavilion or folly, which today is one of Grönsöö Slott’s major attractions. The pavilion is located on the waterfront and was built according to models of the British architect William Chambers with its interiors decorated with shells and minerals from the Far East. It is the only one of its kind in Northern Europe and is the inspiration for the hope of better days ahead. Provenance: Gröönsö Slott, Sweden The column in the photographs is available; please inquire.
