– Queen Christina
Copyright Beth Parker Art 2012
Who wouldn’t want to live in a pink princess castle? I guess a manly prince.
I’m still working on a commission, so this one is from the archives. I have always wanted to tour a castle. I just love the idea of all the mysterious little nooks and crannies. Oh and the round rooms with pointy ceilings.
About Queen Christina
Queen Christina of Sweden was the most famous woman of her time, outshining Queen Elizabeth of England. She was born in Stockholm in 1626 during a rare astrological conjunction. Her father insisted that she be raised as a boy and changed the law so she could become his heir. She became the reigning queen at age five. She helped end the Thirty Years War but abdicated her throne in 1654, converting to Catholicism and moving to Rome, where she became a patron of the arts. She died in 1689.
