Adolf Wölfli (1864–1930) was a Swiss artist and writer, widely recognized as one of the most prominent figures in the field of Art Brut, or "outsider art." His work is celebrated for its intricate detail, imaginative complexity, and the unique perspective it offers into his inner world. Wölfli created his art while institutionalized at the Waldau Psychiatric Clinic in Bern, where he spent much of his adult life after being diagnosed with schizophrenia.

One of Wölfli's notable works is Skt. Adolf=Thron,=Alpa=Roosali. This piece is part of his larger body of work, which often combined visual art with text, music, and narrative elements. Wölfli's creations were typically executed with pencil, colored pencils, and crayons on paper, and they frequently featured dense, symmetrical compositions filled with geometric patterns, symbols, and fantastical imagery. His works often included musical notations, invented words, and autobiographical references, blending reality and imagination in a highly personal and idiosyncratic manner.

Skt. Adolf=Thron,=Alpa=Roosali exemplifies Wölfli's characteristic style, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to create visually overwhelming compositions. The title itself reflects his penchant for combining religious, mythical, and personal elements, though the exact meaning of the title remains open to interpretation. Like many of his works, this piece is believed to be part of Wölfli's larger narrative project, in which he reimagined his life story as a grand, epic saga. In this imagined universe, Wölfli often cast himself as a central figure, elevating his personal experiences into a mythological framework.

Wölfli's art was largely unknown during his lifetime, but it gained recognition after his death, thanks in part to the efforts of Dr. Walter Morgenthaler, a psychiatrist at Waldau who published a monograph on Wölfli in 1921 titled Ein Geisteskranker als Künstler (A Psychiatric Patient as Artist). Morgenthaler's work brought attention to Wölfli's artistic achievements and helped establish his legacy as a pioneer of outsider art.

Today, Wölfli's works, including Skt. Adolf=Thron,=Alpa=Roosali, are housed in the Adolf Wölfli Foundation at the Museum of Fine Arts in Bern, Switzerland. They continue to be studied and admired for their originality, complexity, and the insight they provide into the mind of a singularly creative individual.
