I don't believe this painting has been posted here before:
Is it accurate? It seems to be from the time of the depicted events. |

hard to believe it is unknown if it is on wiki. Frankfurt on the Main: Entrance of Gustav Adolf in Frankfurt by Johann Lorenz Müller ( 1601–1667 )

You might be surprised at the large amount of images that have been uploaded to wikimedia, many of which are not used on an wikipedia pages (but are available for other uses). Druzhina

That's impressive, and I have never seen that image before. Thanks for posting it. |

A case of no very well executed plagiarism, Müller has simply copied parts of from Merians engraving of Gustavus entry into Frankfurt and then arranged them a bit diffrently. To this he has added a figure of Gustavus taken from Merians famous 1632 painting of the King in a red polish-style coat. |

Daniel, do the appearence of the swedish troops seems correct to you? I'm specially curious about the accuracy of the Cavalry standard and halberdier Guard uniform on the foreground. |

All good, now I am aware of Matthäus Merian's engravings as well. |
