In Another Light: Danish Painting in the Nineteenth Century - Hardcover

The extraordinary outburst of artistic energy that occurred in Denmark between 1790 and 1910 has few rivals.Within three generations Danish painters developed a national school that matched the artistic centres of France, Germany and Britain, with a range of outstanding works by the Danish artists including Classicism, Romanticism, Impressionism and Symbolism.Yet surprisingly, there have been few studies even in Danish of this vital artistic movement. That deficit is now corrected with the publication of this landmark study, which allies a lucid and engaging text to scores of luminous reproductions.

Patricia G. Berman is the Barbara Morris Casperson Professor of Art at Wellesley College.
