The period from 1880 to 1910 appears as one of the most outstanding periods in Scandinavian painting as the art in each of the four Nordic countries- Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden- simultaneously attained a power, a coherence, and an originality never reached before. During this period, collaboration between Scandinavian artists increased dramatically, and they often maintained these ties during their frequent sojourns in Paris, Brittany, and Normandy. Rather than attempting to do justice to the many strong individualities present, this exhibition stresses the interconnections and common themes within their work. Thus it captures the characteristic play of light and air that recurs throughout the artists’ depictions of reality. Essentially, this book presents the young Nordic avant-garde of the 1880s, including artists such as Munch, Zorn, Schjerfbeck, Ancher, Larsson, Krøyer, and Liljefors, to name a few, who broke new ground in their own countries’ national art, but also remained consistently aware of trends and movement abroad.

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.

This exhibition at the Moesgård Museum in Denmark covers a number of themes, which shed light on various aspects of the links between Denmark and the Islamic world over a thousand years. Highlights are the Vikings' early encounter with Islamic civilization, Carsten Niebuhr's journey to ‘Arabia Felix’, modern-day tourist excursions and Muslim immigration to present-day Denmark. Photographs and illustrations show the incredible range of the exhibition from silver hoards, a grave-stone of a crusader, and illuminated manuscripts, to textiles, clothing, woodcuts, and even the Islamic influence on Scandinavian architecture. The historical perspective does much to increase the reader's knowledge and appreciation of this cultural connection.
