Summary

• The authors present the entire life and oeuvre of Laurits Tuxen (1853-1927), paying special attention to the more than 40 years he spent as one of the leading court painters of the western world. He painted royalty from all over Europe, but especially portrayed the Danish and British royal families, along with coronations and weddings in the families of the Russian czars. This book offers the first complete presentation of Tuxen's royal portraits and paintings and shows both full and detailed views of familiar and by now iconic works of art such as the 1887 group portrait of Queen Victoria and her family at Windsor Castle. The British Queen also selected Tuxen to depict great royal events such as the wedding of the Duke of York and Princess Mary of Teck in 1893, and he created several beautiful paintings on the occasion of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897.
• Danmark har produceret en lang række internationalt anerkendte hofmalere. Men kun én hofkunstner kan prale af, at hans værker er blevet en integreret del af den europæiske kongelige ikonografi og kultur: Laurits Tuxen. I denne bog fortæller kunsthistorikerne Thyge Fønss-Lundberg og Lise Svanholm om hans kongelige portrætter fra de engelske, russiske, danske og græske hoffer.0Vi kender alle det ikoniske maleri af 'Europas svigerfar', Christian 9., med børn og svigerbørn på Fredensborg Slot. Maleren bag er Laurits Tuxen (1853-1927), datidens førende royale portrætmaler. Tuxen malede zarfamilien i Rusland, den danske kongefamilie, dronning Victoria og mange flere. Tuxen? de kongelige billeder introducerer til Tuxens liv og oeuvre med fokus på de over 40 år, hvor han var en af Europas førende hofmalere. Bogen er den første samlede fremstilling af Tuxens kongelige portrætter og malerier, og den viser i både helhed og detaljer velkendte og efterhånden ikoniske malerier som dronning Victorias 60-års regeringsjubilæum ved St. Paul's Cathedral. Men også hidtil upublicerede og mindre kendte billeder bliver omtalt og analyseret. Translated from Danish by Billy O'Shea.
