This gorgeous book was published to accompany an exhibition of art from the Danish Golden Age. The exhibition opened in 2019 in the Stockholm Nationalmuseum (who co-published the book) and moved to the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen; and will go to the Petit Palais, Paris, in 2020. There are well known images here from Købke, Eckersberg, Bendz, Juel and others, but they are placed in the broader context of numerous other contemporary artists. Reproductions and text are first rate, making this a fine introduction to one of the most delightful developments of C19th European art.
