Albert Edelfelt's painting "Hertig Karl skymfande Klas Flemings lik" (Duke Charles Insulting the Corpse of Klaus Fleming) is a notable work from 1878 that captures a dramatic historical moment from Finnish and Swedish history. The painting depicts the aftermath of the Finnish War of 1596-1597, known as the Cudgel War, which was part of the larger conflict between the Swedish crown and the Finnish nobility.

In the painting, Duke Charles, who later became King Charles IX of Sweden, is shown standing over the body of Klaus Fleming, a Finnish nobleman and military leader who had been a staunch supporter of King Sigismund, Charles's rival. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, with the duke's figure illuminated, emphasizing his authority and disdain. The painting captures the moment when Charles allegedly insulted Fleming's corpse, a story that has been passed down through history, though its accuracy is debated.

Edelfelt, a prominent Finnish painter, was known for his historical and portrait works. He studied at the Académie Julian in Paris and was influenced by the realism movement, which is evident in the detailed and expressive nature of this painting. The work reflects Edelfelt's interest in Finnish history and his ability to convey complex emotions and narratives through art.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its depiction of a pivotal moment in the power struggle that shaped the future of Sweden and Finland. It remains an important piece in Finnish cultural heritage and is housed in the Ateneum Art Museum in Helsinki, Finland. Through this work, Edelfelt contributed to the national romantic movement, which sought to highlight and preserve Finnish history and identity during a time of growing national consciousness.
