List of castles in Sweden

(In the Swedish language the word slott is used for both castles, châteaus and palaces; this article lists all of them as well as fortresses.) A-B[edit] C-E[edit] Aldus' 'Petrarch' Ancient Ink Treatises. Web Gallery of Art, image collection, virtual museum, searchable database of European fine arts (1000-1850) Sigismundus. Portrait of Sigismund of Luxemburg 1420s; Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum, GG 2630 (the copy on display comes from the collection of the Musée National d’Histoire et d’Art in Luxembourg) This is the only surviving portrait painting of Sigismund made during his lifetime.

The characteristics and facial features follow the representational canon that had developed in the course of the Emperor’s life: the elongated face, the long hair protruding at each side, the moustache, the long, undulating beard and the fur hat. Since the portrait is of a man of about fifty years old, it must have been painted in the 1420s. Who the artist was, and where he painted it, remain disputed questions.
