This book focuses on the Roman empress Agrippina Minor (AD 15-59), one of the most influential women in Antiquity. She was the sister of the emperor Caligula, wife of the emperor Claudius, and mother of the emperor Nero. The focal point of the book is a statue of Agrippina in dark green stone of which the head is in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek and the body in a museum in Rome. Both had been found in Rome in the 1880s. Twelve articles written in German, English, and Italian by Danish and foreign scholars deal with the life and the portraits of Agrippina, her influence on her own age and on posterity, and finally Agrippina as she has been depicted in films. All articles are also included in Danish translation.

A catalogue of the superb collection owned by Ambassador John Loeb, Jr. His aim here was to bring the charm and special beauty of Danish art nearer to the forefront of American consciousness. The collection offers examples from the era of Neo-Classicism, usually associated with the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, the Golden Age of Danish Biedermeier, naturalism of c. 1830-50, as well as the Danish Impressionist art. While many of the names of artists and much of this material will be new to some audiences, the paintings are readily accessible, even familiar to viewers conditioned by 19th century American art. There is much to discover here, from the crisp and colorful floral still lifes of J.L. Jensen to the hushed poise and perfectly resolved geometry of Vilhelm Hammershøi’s domestic interiors. Other artists include among many Vilhelm Kyhn, L.A.Ring, P.S. Krøyer, Jens Juel, Nicolai Abildgaard, J.L.Jensen, Carl Bloch, Christen Dalsgaard, Carl Holsøe, Lauritz Tuxen, Brendekilde, Peter Ilsted, Paul Fischer, Julius Exner, Anna Ancher, Sophie Henck.

Lundberg was a young portrait painter, who left Sweden during the difficult years at the end of Charles XII:s reign but returned in 1745 . He became an immediate and lasting success and evenutally became a Court painter. In this, the first monograph on Lundberg since 1902, the authors deal with Lundberg’s artistic development and studio practices as well as his career strategies, particularly in Paris where the competition among the pastel painters was very keen. His Swedish career and the portrait types he created are discussed in relation to the ideological, social and political tensions of the times, as well as the stylistic and thematic influences from French literary, philosophical and artistic developments. The circumstances of his life and contempoary evaluations of his work are also taken as a starting point of a discussion of the Swedish art scene and market, as well as the artist’s role in Swedish society during the 18th century.

The clinically insane Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Hill (1849-1911) has now been resurrected by none other than Georg Baselitz, long known to be, like many other Northern neo-Expressionists, a devotee of Hill's heartbreakingly demented drawings. In this little book, Baselitz's total immersion in Hill's obsessive art, tormented spirit, and imaginary companion produces a marriage made in heaven, or is it hell?
