{"product_id":"christen-kobke-danish-master-of-light","title":"Christen Købke: Danish Master of Light","description":"Christen Købke (1819–1848) was arguably the greatest painter of Denmark’s “Golden Age,” the period of the nation’s supreme artistic achievement. He had the remarkable ability to invest the simplest corner of town or countryside with charm and delicacy, without resorting to the artificial rhetoric of academic traditions. He endowed ordinary people and places, and simple motifs, with a universal significance; a world in microcosm.\nThis beautiful book, written by leading scholars of Scandinavian art, offers an overview of Købke’s achievement within its cultural context, and also highlights the most innovative aspects of his work, including outdoor sketching, his fascination with painterly immediacy in the treatment of light and atmosphere, his exquisite originality, and his experimental outlook.\n\nPublished in association with the National Galleries of Scotland\n\nExhibition Schedule:\nNational Gallery, London(03\/17\/10-06\/13\/10)\nNational Gallery, Edinburgh(07\/04\/10-10\/03\/10)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 030016663X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.030016663X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jackson, David|Monrad, Kasper\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Missing dust cover, otherwise book is in good condition with some wear from normal use.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43338333978685,"sku":"BVV.030016663X.G","price":13.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/030016663X-0.jpg?v=1783916664","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/christen-kobke-danish-master-of-light","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
