CLASSICAL SWEDISH ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIORS 1650-1840.

Author: Cederlund, Johan
Year: 2006
Country or State of Origin: New York

This beautiful, often breathtakingly lavish architecture and interiors of Sweden between the 1600s and the early 1800s have been among the art world’s best-kept secrets. Overshadowed by the high-profile splendors of Italy and France, and studied and chronicled almost entirely in Swedish, Sweden’s majestic palaces, stately manor houses, and tapestry-like gardens have seemed as remote as the Nordic country itself. Art historian Cederlund introduces the genius of Sweden’s architects, designers, and builders in this book. Presented are such path breakers as Nicodemus Tessin the Younger and Carl Hårleman and the ambitious, discerning monarchs and aristocrats who commissioned their work. Learn how Sweden’s architects and designers mined antique and contempoary southern Europe for styles, techniques, and even artisans: how such marvels as the Royal Palace in Stockholm, Drottningholm, King Gustav III’s beloved Haga took shape and acquired their uniquely Swedish stamp. Step into the rich interiors where Sweden’s kings and their consorts received state visitors, stored and displayed treasures, wrote letters and studied science, and laid their heads to sleep. Plans and elevations included.
