Beyond the Light: Identity and Place in Nineteenth-Century Danish Art
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.
Bakkehuset
I de første årtier af 1800-tallet tog mange af guldalderens berømtheder som Adam Oehlenschläger, H.C. Andersen og H.C. Ørsted turen ud til Bakkehuset på Frederiksberg. De kom for at besøge ægteparret Kamma og Knud Lyne Rahbek og nyde godt af et miljø med åndeligt frisind og samtaler om kunst og videnskab. Med til oplevelsen hørte også gåture i Kammas romantiske have med blomsteranlæg og udsigt over markerne. Dengang bød Bakkehuset sig til som kulturpersonlighedernes fristed fra det trange byliv bag voldene i København, mens den gule tolængede bygning for enden af Rahbeks Allé i dag er et velbesøgt museum, hvor gæsterne kan opleve de stuer, der var med til at skabe en nati...
Romantik 2023
“Romantik. Journal for the Study of Romanticisms” is a multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of romantic-era cultural productions and concepts. The journal promotes innovative research across disciplinary borders. It aims to advance new historical discoveries, forward-looking theoretical insights and cutting-edge methodological approaches. The articles range over the full variety of cultural practices, including the written word, visual arts, history, philosophy, religion, and theatre during the romantic period (c. 1780–1840). But contributions to the discussion of pre- or post-romantic representations are also welcome. Since the romantic era was characterized by an emphasis on the vernacular, the title of the journal has been chosen to reflect the Germanic root of the word. But the journal is interested in all European romanticisms – and not least the connections and disconnections between them – hence, the use of the plural in the subtitle. Romantik is a peer-reviewed journal supported by the Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NOP-HS).
Feeling Things
This interdisciplinary essay collection investigates the various interactions of people, feelings, and things throughout premodern Europe. It focuses on the period before mass production, when limited literacy often prioritised material methods of communication. The subject of materiality has been of increasing significance in recent historical inquiry, alongside growing emphasis on the relationships between objects, emotions, and affect in archaeological and sociological research. The historical intersections between materiality and emotions, however, have remained under-theorised, particularly with respect to artefacts that have continuing resonance over extended periods of time or across ...
Painting, Science, and the Perception of Coloured Shadows
Many artists and scientists – including Buffon, Goethe, and Philipp Otto Runge – who observed the vividly coloured shadows that appear outdoors around dawn and dusk, or indoors when a candle burns under waning daylight, chose to describe their colours as ‘beautiful’. Paul Smith explains what makes these ephemeral effects worthy of such appreciation – or how depictions of coloured shadows have genuine aesthetic and epistemological significance. This multidisciplinary book synthesises methodologies drawn from art history (close pictorial analysis), psychology and neuroscience (theories of colour constancy), history of science (the changing paradigms used to explain coloured shadows), and philosophy (theories of perception and aesthetic value drawn from Wittgenstein and Merleau-Ponty). This title will be of interest to scholars in art history, art theory, and the history of science and technology.
Samlingssteder
I 1700-tallet og begyndelsen af 1800-tallet voksede antallet af danske kunstsamlinger, og adelige og borgerlige kappedes om at skaffe værker af de store nederlandske og italienske mestre til landet. Værker af Rembrandt, Rubens, Poussin og Tizian prydede snart væggene bl.a. i grev Moltkes københavnske palæ, på Johan Bülows herregård og i konsul Wests velbesøgte galleri ved Christiansborg. Det at samle var et socialt fænomen, og samlingerne var derfor oplagte samlingssteder for ejernes omgangskredse og andre kunstinteresserede. I kølvandet på samleriet fulgte en underskov af kunsthandlere, eksperter og svindlere, ligesom kendskabet til samlingerne blev udbredt gennem de første kataloger og guidebøger. Samlingerne satte derved deres tydelige præg på samtidens kunst og i sidste ende på eftertidens kunstmuseer. I Samlingssteder fortæller kunsthistoriker Jesper Svenningsen historien om danske kunstsamlere og deres skiftende kunstsmag. Bogen kortlægger samlermiljøets personer, værker og steder og kaster lys over, hvordan samlerne erhvervede sig deres skatte, og hvad der blev af værkerne
The Original Portrayal of Mozart’s Don Giovanni
The Original Portrayal of Mozart’s Don Giovanni offers an original reading of Mozart’s and Da Ponte’s opera Don Giovanni, using as a lens the portrayal of the title role by its creator, the baritone Luigi Bassi (1766–1825). Although Bassi was coached in the role by the composer himself, his portrayal has never been studied in depth before, and this book presents a large number of new sources (first- and second-hand accounts), which allows us to reconstruct his performance scene by scene. The book confronts Bassi’s portrayal with a study of the opera’s early German reception and performance history, demonstrating how Don Giovanni as we know it today was not only created by Mozart,...

Sculpture Workshops as Space and Concept
This book explores the multifaceted aspects of sculptor’s workshops from the Renaissance to the early nineteenth century. Contributors take a fresh look at the sculptor’s workshop as both a physical and discursive space. By studying some of the most prominent artists’ sculptural practices, the workshop appears as a multifaced, sociable and practical space. The book creates a narrative in which the sculptural workshop appears as a working laboratory where new measuring techniques, new materials and new instruments were tested and became part of the lived experience of the artist and central to the works coming into being. Artists covered include Donatello, Roubilliac, Thorvaldsen, Canova, and Christian Daniel Rauch. The book will be of interest to scholars studying art history, sculpture, artist workshops, and European studies.
