La peinture nordique

Comprehensive, complete and informed by the latest research, this richly illustrated study is intended to be a reference work on Nordic painting. This overview extends beyond Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland to the Faroe Islands, Iceland and northern Germany, focusing on the influences and encounters between Nordic art and European painting.

Focusing on the modern and post-modern periods, the book analyses the constants and singularities of styles across the major pictorial registers – landscapes, portraits, genre scenes and interiors – and reveals the importance of the arts of the North on the contemporary international scene.
