Synopsis
Excerpt from The Arts and the Artistic Manufactures of Denmark
Manufactures with objects that claim to be specially distinguished &as Works of Art. At the present time, the Galleries contain works that may be classified in the following groups, every work being produced by Danes, and very many also being strictly Danish, as well in design as in execution. I. Pictures - These are original works in both oil and water colours, by the most eminent Artists of Denmark, and they are painted expressly for the Danish Galleries in London. AS will be seen from the following pages, Marine Subjects, which are Specially popular in Denmark, and enjoy a cor responding popularity among ourselves, take the lead in the department of Danish paintings in oil. II. Sculpture - The works in this group necessarily consist rather of reproductions of the famous statues and bas-reliefs of Thorvaldsen and one or two other renowned Sculptors of Denmark, than of original productions, whether in marble or in any other material. Original works, however, by Danish Sculptors, may always be seen, in the midst of numerous reproductions in the form of Statuettes, Medallions, Plaques, &c., in these Galleries. III. Terra cotta. - The various productions in this beautiful group are described so fully in my Chapter IV., that it would be superfluous to do more here than merely to allude to them as constituting one group or collection 'second to none in interest and attractiveness. IV. Porcelain and biscuit: and V. Goldsmiths' work - A group composed of Objects modelled after ancient Scandinavian examples, discovered as the results of archeological researches and investigations in Denmark. It is by numerous and diversified collections 'of productions in each of these five groups that the Arts and Artistic Manufactures of Denmark are exemplified, with characteristic significance, in the Royal Danish Galleries in London.
