Forlagsbeskrivelse af Beyond the Light: Identity and Place in Nineteenth-Century Danish Art af Identity and Place in Nineteenth-Century Danish Art
Though known as the Danish Golden Age, nineteenth-century Denmark was one of the most tumultuous periods in the nation's history-from the disastrous siege of Copenhagen and the collapse of Denmark's monarchy to the swelling tide of nationalism that eventually engulfed all of Europe. This volume places artists at the center of Denmark's dramatic cultural, political, and philosophical transformation by bringing together 90 drawings, paintings, and oil sketches by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, Christen Kobke, Constantin Hansen, Martinus Rorbye, Johan Thomas Lundbye, Vilhelm Hammershoi, and others. Five thematic essays by leading scholars in Denmark and the United States explore the way Danish artists manifested the pride, traditions, and anxieties of their nation; the sea's ever-changing role as a marker of Danish identity; the evolving nature of portraiture; nostalgia for the Danish landscape and folk traditions; and the influence on Danish artists of their travels throughout Europe.
