This book is the first complete study of the painter Nicolai
Abildgaard's oeuvre. Abildgaard (1743-1809) is the only Danish
artist of the 18th century to obtain a position in the European art
history of the period. His works range from the Pre-Romantic
sublime to Enlightenment history painting, anonymous satire and
Neo-Classical allegory. 1789 radicalised his views and estranged
him from his royal patrons. The imagery of his final, isolated
years playfully evokes an erotic Neo-Classical Arcadia. Among his
friends were the Swedish sculptor Tobias Sergel and the German
sculptor Gottfried Schadow; and among his pupils were Asmus
Carstens, Caspar David Friedrich, Phillipp Otto Runge and Bertel
Thorvaldsen.
