Beautiful impressionist works in Lillehammer, Norway, by artist Thorvald Erichsen (1868-1939). The captivating and bright colors light up each page. A sensational and very modern colorist - the pastel complexity of Bonnard, but with the larger and calmer surfaces of a premature Morandi - one of the lesser known Internationally of the Nordic set, but one of the most striking. This is an excellent monograph on Erichsen.

Prins Eugen, the youngest son of King Oscar II, was one of Sweden’s finest landscape painters. This catalogue from an exhibit of his works at the Norwegian National Gallery in 1988 includes five excellent articles by experts on the subject. Eugen’s landscape paintings reflect the moods prevalent around him in Nordic art, but have a restrained intensity that can perhaps be traced to his unique life situation and the burden of living out the life of an artist while maintaining the office and role of Prince. An unquestionably important figure on the Scandinavian firmament.

This presentation of the Renaissance and Baroque bronzes of the Nationalmuseum is the first attempt to introduce this important collection to the international art world by means of a catalog raisonné. In addition to possessing the largest collection of works by Adrian de Vries, Nationalmuseum also exhibits works by noted sculptors such as Giovanni Bologna and Jan Gregor van der Schardt. Their collections, mostly comprised of French and Italian sculptures, are largely indebted to the acquisitions of Carl Gustav Tessin while he acted as ambassador in Paris. This catalog presents sixty sculptures, most of which are depicted in full-page photographs and accompanied by lengthy descriptions.

As part of the Nationalmuseum series documenting their collections, this catalogue of the European painting collections supersedes that published in 1958. Therefore, it includes the many acquisitions made during the 30 years since the last issue and it reflects the most recent research on the older holdings. The painting collections, from the 15th century to the 20th, are of the highest international class. The 18th century French collection is among the finest in the world, with artists like Watteau, Boucher and Chardin represented. The impressionist collection, containing works by Manet, Renoir, and Gauguin is highly esteemed internationally, as is an important collection of Dutch and Flemish art of the 17th century, including masterpieces by Rubens and nine Rembrandts. This new completely illustrated catalogue makes this superb collection more accessible to both the larger public and specialized art historians as well.
