This collection of essays by 26 Renaissance scholars from Europe
and the United States represents the outcome of an international
conference which took place at The National Museum of Denmark and
the castles of Kronborg and Frederiksborg on 28 September 1 October
2006 as part of the Danish Renaissance Festival 2006 ("Renossance
2006"). The agenda of the conference was to reevaluate and
re-present art and architecture in the Danish realms during the
16th and early 17th century for an international audience, given
the fact that this material has often been left in the blind spot
of interest in general surveys of the Renaissance. Moreover, it was
essential to integrate the cases presented into recent discourses,
aiming at resetting the theoretical or methodological frameworks of
the field. Accordingly, the contributions represent different
approaches, ranging from more universal issues to close readings of
individual problems or monuments with emphasis on examples produced
for circles, preferentially the elites, in the former monarchy of
Denmark-Norway, yet including to no less extent works of art,
agencies and activities related to areas, individuals or parallel
initiatives beyond the narrow national frames. From an overall
perspective several of the articles thus seek to open for a more
European or even Global vision of the periods artistic physiognomy,
basically questioning as well the notion of a specific 'Danish
Renaissance', anchored in the art historical tradition of the 19th
century. The general introduction is followed by 25 essays,
arranged in four sections: "Reframing the Frames", "Lutheran
Rhetorics", "Catalysts to Change" and "Rex Triumphans: The
Unsurpassed
