Book Description Hardcover. Condition: As New. Navy blue cloth, gilt letters on spine & front cover, color pictorial dust jacket, 304 pp., many color illus. Text is in Danish and English. Issued in conjunction with a 2013 exhibition featuring artwork from the Danish Golden Age (ca. 1800-1850), "often depicted as a nostalgic zenith marked by middle class calm, idyll and harmony, in spite of the wars, economic crises and political turbulence of the period. We recognise the masterpieces of the Golden Age as epic national landscapes, reserved bourgeois portraits and unspoiled Italian landmarks from the artists' travels. But there are other less polished stories of the Golden Age: stories about a Denmark and Europe in rapid development. These find their expression in the crossover between art, literature, science and politics. It is here we find paintings and drawings which demonstrate how the artists experimented and turned against traditions." (foreword) Spectacularly illustrated. One of 3500 copies.
