Placing artists at the center of nineteenth-century Demark’s
dramatic cultural, political, and philosophical transformation,
this publication explores their persistent national pride in a time
of turmoil Though known as the Danish Golden Age,
nineteenth-century Denmark was one of the most tumultuous periods
in the nation’s history—from the disastrous siege of Copenhagen
and the collapse of Denmark’s monarchy to the swelling tide of
nationalism that eventually engulfed all of Europe. This volume
places artists at the center of Denmark’s dramatic cultural,
political, and philosophical transformation by bringing together 90
drawings, paintings, and oil sketches by Christoffer Wilhelm
Eckersberg, Christen Købke, Constantin Hansen, Martinus Rørbye,
Johan Thomas Lundbye, Vilhelm Hammershøi, and others. Five
thematic essays by leading scholars in Denmark and the United
States explore the way Danish artists manifested the pride,
traditions, and anxieties of their nation; the sea’s
ever-changing role as a marker of Danish identity; the evolving
nature of portraiture; nostalgia for the Danish landscape and folk
traditions; and the influence on Danish artists of their travels
throughout Europe. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of
Art/Distributed by Yale University Press  Exhibition
