Bellmans 1700-tal / The 18´th century of Bellman

Det finns två tidsåldrar som jag dras till mer än annat. Det ena är 1930-40-talet och den andra tidsepoken är 1700 talet...hmmm undrar om jag levt i dessa tidsåldrar tidigare?? Jag fick en dos av 1700-talet när vi tidigare i sommar åkte runt och sen hamnade på Aspa Herrgård i Tiveden. Wow! Jättefin herrgård som också visade sig ha ett litet Bellman museum.
Bilden ovan föreställer prinsessan Hedvig Elisabet Charlotta, målad 1774 av vår fantastiske konstnär Alexander Roslin. Hon var dåtidens värsta bloggare har det sagts eftersom hon skrev mängder av dagböcker fyllda med hovskvaller.

There are two epochs that I´m extra interested in. The 1930´s to 1940´s have always interested me and then there is the 18´th century....hmmm wonder if I lived my previous lives in those time eras?? I had a dose of the 18´th century when we earlier this summer drove around and ended up at Aspa Herrgård. Wow! a beautiful Mansion that nowadays is a hotel. They also happened to have a little museum over Swedens most famous poet and songwriter Carl Michael Bellman. His songs are still sung by almost everyone.The picture above is painted in 1774 by one of our most brilliant artists Alexander Roslin and depicts the princess Hedvig Elisabet Charlotta. She is considered the "best blogger" of that time since she wrote a lot of diaries with gossip from the courtlife.

Aahh färgerna , kläderna och tygerna är så vackra...om man var rik förstås...men säkert inte alls bekväma!

Aahh the colours, the clothes and the fabric were so beautiful...if You were rich of course.. but I bet they weren´t at all comfortable to wear!

Konst som säkert inspirerade Bellman...Francois Boucher ...

Art that most certanly inspired Bellman...Francois Boucher ...

Aspa Herrgård en väldigt vacker byggnad, även om parken som hör till kunde behöva en översyn...

The Mansion "Aspa Herrgård", a beautiful building even if the park and the garden could need some more work and effort...

Det är inte långt till Fagertärn i Tiveden med sina röda näckrosor...denna är dock från parkens damm...

It´s not far to Fagertärn, a little lake in Tiveden with wild red waterlilies...this one is from the pond in the park though...
