Abildgaard (1743-1809) cannot be compared with any one in Danish art rather he should be side by side with the best of European art. His passion for art, intellectural curiosity and his innovation for the avant garde helped to decide the experimentation and growth in the national art in Denmark. Abildgaard never knew his own greatness, but his pictures have time after time fascinated the living artists and writers. This book concentrates on the art of the1700s, which has often been in the shadow of the golden age, the intensive1800s.

Her drawings and paintings are shown side by side with selected quotes from her entire authorship.

When August Cappelen (1827-1852) died at an early age, he was on the verge of international recognition. In Norway, he had become regarded as one of the leading landscape painters. He belonged to the so-called Düsseldorf school in Norwegian painting, which filled a peculiar position bridging Late Romanticism and Early Realism. However, his very personal way of looking at the landscape, the expressive character of his work, and his use of subtle coloring were clearly related to neo-romantic trends at the turn of the century.

The sculptures of Danish artist Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen are handsomely exhibited in this book. The preferred theme of her work was domestic animals and people, which she captured in an intense and naturalistic way. Many works depict Nordic sagas and mythology. Some of her more famous pieces include the equestrian statue of King Christian X in Copenhagen and a set of bronze doors at the cathedral in Ribe. Her wide-ranging and prolific works are done in several media, such as bronze, clay, or marble.
