In three rich essays, the story of Sweden’s era of international prowess - the 16th and 17th centuries - is described through the artistic treasures of the period, now all part of the Royal Treasury.

One of a series of illustrated catalogues devoted to Stockholm Nationalmuseum’s Department of Paintings and Sculpture, this volume lists every sculpture in the collection, and includes illustrations of all but a few specialized collections. The Nationalmuseum is the central museum for Sweden’s national collections of paintings, sculpture, fine arts, drawings and prints. Consisting of 2300 items, ranging chronologically from classical antiquity to early 20th century, the sculpture collection includes large-scale marble sculpture, smaller terracotta and plaster sketches, plaster medallions, reliefs and portrait busts. The foundation of the Museum’s collection was established just before 1800 with the contribution of Gustav III’s collection of 300 pieces of sculpture to the state. This catalogue is divided into two sections, the first devoted to Swedish sculpture, represented best by the work of Johan Tobias Sergel, and the second section devoted to European sculpture, including a unique collection of bronze sculptures by Dutch born Adriaen de Vries and Renaissance and Baroque bronzes from Italy and France.

Frits Thaulow and Erik Werenskiold were Norwegian turn of the century painters. Frits Thaulow was an impressionist painter who is known for his beautiful landscapes and his realistic painting of water. Thaulow was a key figure in Nordic painting around 1880, and a personal friend of Monet. Erik Werenkiold was inspired by French nature and the naturalist movement. He painted peasants and landscapes, portraits of celebrities, and illustrations for Norwegian fairy tales. This catalogue attempts to re-produce the joint exhibition from Stockholm, Sweden in March of 1892.
