Queen Christina (1626-1689), an amazing woman in many respects, deserves close attention not only of the historian, but also of the general public. Her personality is no less interesting than the personalities of Catherine II, Catherine de Medici, Mary Stuart or Elizabeth I, and has the right to take pride of place in any gallery of historical portraits. Not a single major European event passed by her. Possessing an inquisitive mind and impeccable artistic taste, she has amassed a magnificent library and a unique collection of art objects. She communicated and corresponded with prominent people of her time: Cardinal Mazarin, French King Louis XIV, Popes Alexander VII, Clement IX and others, composers Alessandro Scarlatti and Arcangelo Corelli, sculptor Lorenzo Bernini, scientists Rene Descartes and Giovanni Cassini and many, many others. . Only the outer outline of her life is amazing: the daughter and heiress of the great Gustav II Adolf, the hero of the Thirty Years' War and the creator of the great-power Sweden, educated and brought up in the spirit of following her royal duty, who ruled the country quite safely for eleven years, in the twenty-ninth year of her life she unexpectedly renounces the throne, leaves his homeland forever, converts to Catholicism and, after stormy years of private life, dies alone in Italy.
