NORDIC LANDSCAPE PAINTING IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.

Connecticutt 1998. In this richly illustrated book, Torsten Gunnarsson provides for the first time a comprehensive study of landscape painting in Scandinavia during its vital period of development in the nineteenth century. Scandinavia’s search for a national identity, combined with its strong sense of communion with nature, fueled a growing interest in landscape painting in the 1800s. Gunnarsson shows how the magnificent wilderness became a symbol of Nordic strength and vigour, as well as a counter-image to industrialization and European urban culture. It covers the Danish Golden Age from the early 1800s to the Turn of the Century with all the artists who are worth knowing from throughout Scandinavia., English, Year1998, Illust. B/W56, Illust.
