Highlights
Nationalmuseum is Sweden’s leading art gallery and this volume presents a selection of its best-known masterpieces – paintings, sculptures and works of applied art – from the Renaissance to our own era. Nationalmuseum’s collections also contain numerous works of art that for different reasons have fallen into obscurity. A number of these are also highlighted: unique and fascinating works that have hitherto rarely been displayed but which really merit attention. 00Why do some works of art become more famous and popular than others? Words like “highlights”, “classics” and “masterpieces” are often used unreflectingly in catalogues and home pages produced by galleries, but wh...

A Swedish Legacy
This book presents the most important examples of Swedish decorative and applied arts as seen through the collections of the Nationalmuseum Stockholm. It is the second in a series of three intended titles on the collections of Nationalmuseum Stockholm, the first of which focused on the museum's important collection of paintings and sculpture. Illustrated in color throughout, this latest addition to the Scala list charts the development of Swedish decorative and applied art from the Vasa 'Renaissance' period at the end of the 17th century, through Rococo and Gustavian Classicism of the 18th century, the Romanticism of the 19th century right up to the age of 'Scandinavian Design' in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Covers all aspects of the decorative and applied arts in Sweden, including pottery, porcelain and glass, furniture and clocks, silver and silver plate, tapestries, fabrics, textiles and plastics.

Art Treasures from the Collections
Nationalmuseum is one of Europe's oldest art museums, engendered by 18th-century enlightenment and the age of revolutions. It was founded in 1792, one year before the Louvre in Paris, and opened for the public two years later at the Royal Palace. The museum is based on the transfer of Gustav III's collection to public ownership and was at the same time established in memory of the dead king. The museum therefore houses major sections of the earlier royal collections and in this way differs, for example, from several large North American museums. Nationalmuseum's collections are incredibly rich. Over 700,000 objects offer many possibilities for everyone. In order to provide visitors with a clearer idea of the history of the collections and the riches they contain, this volume offers an introduction and examples. Its ambition is to give readers as representative and inspiring a selection as possible.
150 Years of Swedish Art
This book gives an overview of the history of Swedish art since about 1862 until the present time, demonstrating the wonderful vitality of that tradition. While there is general awarness in the U.S. of the most prominent Swedish artists of the period covered by the exhibition (especially Carl Larsson (1853-1919), whose 1918 'Portrait of Poet Erik Axel Karlfeldt', catalogue number 25, is included in the exhibit, and Anders Zorn (1860-1920), whose 1906 depiction of 'Girls from Dalarna Having a Bath', catalogue number 17, is also on display), many of the fine artists whose works are being show are less recognized. Contributions: Torsten Gunnarson: Swedish nineteenth-century painting between European and National influences / Magnus Bons: The outer forms of color and the interior spaces of painting.0Exhibition: Hillstrom Museum of Art, Gustavus Adolphus College, St. Peter, USA (10.9.-2.12.2012).
