YES!! Amazing, my dear clever wonderful wolf friend
The Tessin family was thought of as a dynasty since they had a great impact on Swedish political and architectural history. Nicodemus Tessin The Younger was sent to Rome to study and was greeted by queen Christina of Sweden who helped him get the finest education. Amongst his teachers was for example the very famous sculptor Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini.
He became famous enough that on one of his visits to France he was greeted by King Louis XVI who had the fountains play for him. A rare honor at this point in time.
Nicodemus Tessin The Younger is most known for his work on Stockholm Castle that is still more or less the same that we see today.
