This book on the Danish Golden Age is an invitation to discover a unique and engaging pictorial movement, unparalleled in Europe at the time. More than two hundred works by leading painters—such as Eckersberg, Kobke, and Rorbye—illustrate this flourishing artistic period between 1801 and 1864. While their paintings bear witness to the political, economic, and cultural identity of 19th-century Denmark, they are also distinguished by their intimate subjects: family gatherings, modest corners of nature, artists in their studios or on their travels... In light of research carried out over the past decades, this unique synthesis offers new insights into the golden age of Danish painting.
