The Golden Age of Danish Art. Drawings from the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Copenhagen presents a rich selection of drawings associated with the celebrated Golden Age of Danish art. Drawing on works from the collection of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, the volume explores the remarkable flourishing of Danish visual culture during the nineteenth century, with particular attention to drawing as an independent art form and as an essential part of artistic practice. The catalogue highlights the refined observation, technical skill and distinctive approach to landscape, architecture, portraiture and everyday life characteristic of the period. It provides an introduction to the cultural and artistic context in which Denmark's Golden Age developed while presenting works by important figures associated with Danish Romanticism and nineteenth-century Danish art. Richly illustrated and conceived as both an exhibition catalogue and scholarly art publication, the book is a valuable reference for collectors and readers interested in Danish drawings, Scandinavian art, works on paper, Romanticism and European nineteenth-century art.
