Description
Denmark's cultural renaissance in the early 19th century was marked by a vibrant visual culture that captured the essence of its society. Following the Napoleonic Wars, Denmark experienced a period of relative peace and prosperity, which had a profound impact on its art.
The Golden Age, spanning roughly from 1801 to 1864, produced defining images of a peaceful and ordered society, as the emerging Copenhagen bourgeoisie asserted their taste for portraits, urban scenes, and landscapes that reflected their lifestyles. This book examines the vital role played by visual arts within the wider context of this era's social, political, intellectual, scientific, artistic, and cultural achievements.
Drawing on established and contemporary Danish scholarship, it presents an innovative survey of Danish Golden Age art, shedding light on the period's defining images and the artists who created them.
