Abstract

[Thor Mednick’s essay considers how the depiction of agricultural scenes in Danish Romantic painting engaged with emergent, national Romantic ideology. Historians of Danish Romantic painting have long recognized that landscape paintings informed and reinforced the construction of national identities and more recent studies have framed such canvases concretely as vital touchstones in the persuasion of the Danish electorate in the 1840s and through the early days of constitutional sovereignty. Mednick expands on this scholarship here, showing how depictions of Danish agricultural scenes in particular are often less concerned with celebrating the Danish landscape as a ‘Romantic’ index of memory and historical identity than with emphasizing that landscape as the locus of lived experience and a nexus of emergent modernity.]
