The old Spökslottet, located in Stockholm’s student quarters and affiliated with Stockholm University, houses one of Sweden’s most prestigious art collections begun by Captain Johan Adolf Berg. On the occasion of the renovation of Spökslottet, this collection of masterpieces are exhibited as a collaborative effort between Stockholm University and the Nationalmuseum. Paintings in the collection are organized into categories such as: Bresia, Florence, and Paris, 1500-1640; Tiepolo and Venetian painting, 1730-60; Antwerp and Nuremberg, 1500-70; Pieter Brueghel and brothers Van Cleve, 1560-80; Antwerp, Brussels, and Haarlem, 1590-1650; Netherlands historical paintings, 1620-50; Netherlands, still life, genre, and landscape paintings, 1630-80; Sweden, 16th to 19th century. An engaging book with introductory essays presenting the history of Berg’s collection, this book also includes illustrations and in-depth descriptions of each of the 52 paintings displayed.
