Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: BRILLIANT - An absolutely fantastic book of an area of European art which is very little known. People may get excited by Munch's "The Scream" (I'm not sure I understand why) but there is far more to the art of this remote, slightly mysterious Nordic land. I saw this book in a bookshop in Helsinki and KNEW I had to get it on my return to the UK. It is full of the most interesting paintings, beautifully selected and printed, and show that - while Nordic art may not have been cutting edge - it certainly evokes the feelings, influences and aspirations of the countries and their people at the turn of the 19/20th century. The articles which accompany the paintings (which cover Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland) provide a very detailed analysis of what was happening. My own feeling, for what it is worth, is that there is a major over-emphasis on the influence of France and French Impressionism and a lack of linking back to Nordic mythology and the hard existence but deep imagination of the Nordic people. It is particularly disappointing that - as so often with writers on European art - no credence is given to the work of Russian masters such as Repin, Shishkin and Levitan. Given that Finland was a Russian Duchy, I find this an extraordinary oversight. But don't let this critique put you off. This is a superb book - worth it just for the selection of paintings and for the insights they give to the impact of landscape, light and religion to the Nordic artists. Review: Beautiful, high quality book - Buying an Art book online, unseen in real life, was a bit of a risk; however I could not have been more delighted. The quality of the binding, printing (and of the content itself!) is very high. A wide range of artists represented by a good selection of work plus biographical information and essays. Purchased as a gift, but if it had been leaving the household I would have found it hard to let go! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 3777470813 | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,945,288 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 5,267 in European Art History 6,387 in Museums & Art Collections 11,926 in Painting (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (15) | | Dimensions | 24.13 x 2.29 x 27.94 cm | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 9783777470818 | | ISBN-13 | 978-3777470818 | | Item weight | 1.9 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 260 pages | | Publication date | 5 Dec. 2012 | | Publisher | Hirmer | ## Images ![Nordic Art: The Modern Breakthrough 1860-1920 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610AwMYrWgL.jpg) ![Nordic Art: The Modern Breakthrough 1860-1920 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41n6p+ZBfwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BRILLIANT *by D***H on 17 April 2014* An absolutely fantastic book of an area of European art which is very little known.

The quality of the binding, printing (and of the content itself!) is very high. A wide range of artists represented by a good selection of work plus biographical information and essays. Purchased as a gift, but if it had been leaving the household I would have found it hard to let go! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful book *by I***N on 3 August 2013* Beautifully produced book (in English) of an exhibition of Nordic art that has been in the Netherlands and Germany during 2103. An excellent substitute for those unable to make the trip to the exhibition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/57485512-nordic-art-the-modern-breakthrough-1860-1920](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/57485512-nordic-art-the-modern-breakthrough-1860-1920) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
