With this in mind, a series of exhibitions has been arranged in the course of 2002 at three of the most important American museums. The present publication is the catalogue that was drawn up for the American exhibition and is the first stage towards the publication of a proper catalogue raisonné - that is, a complete research-based publication of the French collection. Includes paintings by Ingres, Corot, Delacroix Courbet, Pisarro, Manet, Degas, Cezanne, Sisley, Monet, Morisot, Renoir, Gauguin, Matisse, Købke, Skovgaard, Lundbye, Hammershøi et al.

Author: Alena Marchwinski
Year: 1995
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

The enshrinement of death, its aesthetic, erotic and metaphysical sublimation and the recognition of the psychological and political brutality of death are all aspects of the romantic vision. This is a study of a fascinating idea in European art, of Goya, Jacques Francois Joseph, Claude Louis Desrais, Gericault, Delacroix, and the ever mysterious Caspar David Friedrich.

CYGNAEUKSEN GALLERIA LUETTELO/ CYGNAEI GALLERI KATALOG (Cygnaei Gallery Catalog).

Author: Salonen, Marja and Elina Lähteenmäki
Year: 1993
Country or State of Origin: Finland

The private art collection of professor Fredrik Cygnaeus (1807 “ “ 1881) opened to the public in 1882 and is the oldest art museum in Finland. Initially, the museum’s goal was to incorporate one work from every Finnish artist in the collection, however, with the inclusion of some international work, this goal became unmanageable. The first part of this catalog describes the life work of Fredrik Cygnaeus and the creation of this museum. The second part presents, in detail, all of the paintings, drawings, watercolors, and sculptures that comprise the collection in its current state.

DANISH SCULPTURE AROUND 1900.

Author: Ernst Jonas Bencard and Flemming Friborg
Year: 1995
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

Towards 1900, Danish sculptors were working in the shadow of Thorvaldsen, but without conviction. Carl Jacobsen saw sculpture as the bearer of an educative ideal, and by his support for contemporary sculpture he wished to make his contribution to the creation of a great Danish sculptural art-founded on such diverse ideals as the classicism of Thorvaldsen and on French salon sculpture. Modernism has irrecovably changed the way we experience art, and it has become difficult to take the work of this forgotten generation of artists at face value. This volume comprises 135 works of Danish sculpture from around 1860 to 1920, most of them personally acquired by Carl Jacobsen and include among many Vilhelm Bissen, Elna Borch, Ludvig Brandstrup, Stephan Sinding, Theobald Stein & August Saabye.
