About the Item

Uppsala Cathedral Memorial Chapel, Gustavianska Grafkoret, Lithograph 1877 Description: This intimate interior view shows the Gustavianska grafkoret, the Gustavian burial chapel within Uppsala Cathedral, rendered with a strong vertical emphasis that draws the eye upward toward the vaulted ceiling and tall Gothic windows. Massive columns frame the space, while the central sarcophagus and surrounding figures establish a solemn, contemplative atmosphere. Compared to broader nave views of the cathedral, this composition focuses on enclosure, memory, and ceremonial stillness. The lithograph was drawn and lithographed by A. Nay and published in 1877 in the illustrated volume Upsala, with text by S. Nordström. Issued in a later variant of the work containing ten plates rather than the twelve of the 1870 edition, it forms part of a coherent and well-documented visual record of Uppsala’s architectural and historical landmarks. Nay’s handling of tone and light is particularly effective here, softening the stone surfaces and lending the interior a quiet dignity. The Gustavianska grafkoret holds the tombs of prominent members of the Swedish royal house and occupies a significant place in the symbolic landscape of the cathedral. This vertical format enhances the sense of reverence and upward movement, making the print especially appealing to collectors interested in ecclesiastical history, royal monuments, or Gothic interior architecture. This view was published alongside a broader horizontal depiction of the cathedral choir from the same 1877 series. Together they document contrasting spatial experiences within Uppsala Cathedral, from monumental procession to intimate memorial space, while remaining fully independent works. Condition: Good overall condition. Light age toning and occasional minor foxing, primarily in the margins. Image area remains clear with strong definition. Margins generous. Framing tips: The vertical format works well with a tall mat in soft ivory or light stone tones. A dark wood or blackened frame provides contrast and reinforces the solemn character of the subject. Museum glass recommended to preserve tonal subtlety. Technique: Tinted lithograph Maker: A. Nay, Sweden, 1877 Related works from this Uppsala series are available in my shop on 1stdibs.

The Old Uppsala Church, Lithograph, Signed, Edition 3/15

Located in New Orleans, LA

"Old Uppsala Church" was done in small edition of 15. This impression is #3. Gamla Uppsala (Swedish: Old Uppsala) is a parish and a village outside Uppsala in Sweden. As early as the 3rd century AD and the 4th century AD and onwards, it was an important religious, economic and political centre. Early written sources claim that already during pre-history, Gamla Uppsala was well known in Northern Europe as the residence of Swedish kings of the legendary Yngling dynasty In fact, the oldest Scandinavian sources, such as Ynglingatal, the Westrogothic law and the Gutasaga talk of the King of the Swedes (Suiones) as the "King at Uppsala". During the Middle Ages, it was the largest village of Uppland, the eastern part of which probably originally formed the core of the complex of properties belonging to the Swedish Crown, the so-called Uppsala öd, of which the western part consisted of the royal estate...
