The extraordinary outburst of artistic energy that occurred in Denmark between 1790 and 1910 has rarely been rivaled. Within three generations of the founding of its Royal Academy, Danish painters developed a national school of art that challenged the artistic centers of France, Germany, and Britain. The range of outstanding works created by Nicolai Abildgaard, Jens Juel, Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, Christian Købke, P.S. Krøyer, and Vilhelm Hammershøi reflect and refract in unique and compelling ways the great stylistic tendencies of European art of the nineteenth century, including Classicism, Romanticism, Impressionism, and Symbolism. Yet surprisingly, there have been few studies of this vital school of art. That deficit is now corrected with the publication of this landmark study of Danish art.
