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.

Comprised primarily of 18th, 19th and early 20th century paintings along with a few contamporary works, the Loeb collection contains a representation of art from the “Danish Golden Age” (1820-1850), and includes many paintings from “The Modern Breakthrough” dating from the 1880’s, with works by the Skagen artists’ coterie and the enigmatic, nonconformist Vilhelm Hammershøi among the principal figures. These periods have become both well known and highly esteemed among collectors of art and museum curators outside Denmark. The researchers have assembled a unique catalogue raisoneé, fully illustrated and annotated, frequently touching on Danish art’s historical development and offering glimpses into the Danish artistic soul.

This book thoroughly describes the life of a Swedish children’s book author and illustrator, and one of the founders of Swedish children’s literature. Born Elsa Maaretman in Stockholm, she started to draw at an early age, deciding to become an artist. An especially important person for her was her grandmother, Johanna Wilhelmina, who told her fairy tales. In her books Beskow used her own childhood experiences as a source for ideas. Her own six children also inspired her work. Central themes were the relationship between children and adults and children’s independent initiative. The pictures were large, with carefully studied details of nature and bourgeois small town life. Often Beskow combined reality with elements from the fairy tale world - ordinary children meet elves or goblins, ugly witches sulk on the street corners, and farm animals talk with people. A beautifully illustrated book on Elsa Beskow

Carl Larsson is one of Sweden’s best-loved artists. The watercolours of his home and his family from the end of the nineteenth century are widely acclaimed as one of the richest records of life at that time. The paintings in this book depict the farm of Spadarvet in Sundborn, in west Sweden, which Carl Larsson bought in 1897. The accompanying text provides a fascinating insight into farm life, and into Larsson’s painting techniques.

This book is a cohesive overview of Central European prehistory from the introduction of agriculture around 6000 BC to the state-forming processes that began to emerge during the first millennium BC. A complex mosaic of culture, society and processes is mirrored in the material world in certain periods involves a large part of the Eurasian continent. Culture and change must be understood as both localized and macro-regional: this book is a cultural-historical tale - inspired by, for example, the attempts of French historians to integrate different levels of history.

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.

A theme treated in this book from a number of different angles is the importance of earlier Spanish art to the art of the period from the 19th century until today. The book starts by presenting various categories of significant motifs in earlier Spanish art. The second part of the book gives examples of how these categories of motifs -religious motifs, portrait paintings, still lifes and genre motifs by the likes of El Greco, Zurbarán, Velázquez and Goya -inspired a number of paintings in Sweden as well as elsewhere in Europe in the period from the 19th century up to present.
