One of the most important and influential painters of the 19th century, Eckersberg (1783 – 1853) was a prominent figure in the so-called Golden Age of Danish Art. A painter of great diversity, his art spans many genres, from Romanticism and Neoclassicism to Naturalism and Realism. Eckersberg was also a pioneer of the art of plein air painting. This book offers an in-depth examination of Eckersberg’s works. With contributions by Kasper Monrad, Henrik Holm, Anna Scram Vejlbye, Peter Nørgaard Larsen, Jesper Svenningsen, Gry Hedin, and David Jackson. Text in English.
