Nordic Art – The Modern Breakthrough

The late 19th and early 20th centuries marked a defining moment in Nordic art. Through more than two hundred paintings, ‘Nordic Art’ tells the story of this important period. In dialogues between Scandinavian culture and other European contemporary art of the time, Nordic artists developed their own distinctive interpretations of realism, impressionism, and symbolism.
