Dutch and Flemish Painting at The Nivaagaard Collection
Angela Jager and Jørgen Wadum
Masterpieces by renowned Dutch and Flemish painters, such as Pieter Brueghel II, Rembrandt, Jan Steen, Meindert Hobbema, Cornelis de Vos and others, form a cornerstone of The Nivaagaard Collection, located just north of Copenhagen, Denmark. For the first time in over a century, these 57 works have been comprehensively studied, resulting in this richly illustrated collection catalogue.
Dutch and Flemish Painting at The Nivaagaard Collection presents the findings of extensive art historical and technical research, offering fresh attributions, new connections, revised dates, and deeper insights into the paintings’ creation and preservation, and position within the broader history of Dutch and Flemish art. Additionally, two essays provide an in-depth exploration of Johannes Hage’s (1842–1923) passionate acquisition of these works and their remarkable conservation history, making this publication an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
