Resonerande kataloger – serie

Detta är den första av tre volymer över den samling av holländska och flamländska målningar som finns på Nationalmuseum. En stor del av museets konst består av holländsk konst och inkluderar en blandning av arbeten utförda av framstående konstnärer, såsom Pieter Aertsen, Jan Massys, Frans Floris, Rubens, Rembrandt och Frans Hals.

Till skillnad från den samling med franska målningar från 1600-talet som Nationalmuseum erhöll alldeles nyligen, härrör sig 1700-talssamlingen från museets begynnelse, som sammanföll med det samtida förnyade intresset för fransk kultur. Det är med den anledningen som Nationalmuseum har lyckan att vara ägare till en samling bestående av närmare 350 målningar gjorda av mästare såsom Watteau, Chardin, Boucher, Fragonard, Rigaud, Pesne, Oudry och La Tour, samtliga avbildade och beskrivna i denna magnifika bok.

The project Nicodemus Tessin the Younger - Sources, Works, Collections was initiated in 1999 and aims at a systematic analysis and publication of the manuscripts and collections of the architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger (1654-1728). After three volumes containing editions of textual sources (see below), a catalogue of Tessin's collection of drawings for ecclesiastical and garden architecture was published in 2004. The next planned volume in the series is a catalogue of Tessin's internationally renowned collection of drawings for the decorative arts. The Swedish architect acquired a large part of the material during his European tour 1687-1688, when he studied the art of interior decoration in Italy, France and the Netherlands, preparing for the construction and furnishing of a new Royal Palace in Stockholm. Among the drawings are around fifty sheets with sketches for furniture and decorative panels with rich acanthus ornaments, acquired in Rome. The court of Louis XIV was, however, the most important model, and until the end of his life, Tessin continued ordering drawings, books and prints from France as reference tools for his work. The catalogue work is based on Carl Gustaf Tessin's precise inventory of his father's collection, written in 1732. The drawings collection of Nicodemus Tessin the Younger forms part of the larger Tessin-Hårleman Collection (THC) at the Nationalmuseum. European and North American scholars frequently consult this documentation of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century architecture and decorative arts. One reason is that the collection contains numerous records of buildings, gardens and objects that have been lost. The project is led by the research curator Martin Olin with financial support from The Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation and The Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities. The project also has an international advisory committee.

År 1933 fick Nationalmuseum ta emot en donation från bankmannen Olof Aschberg, bestående av en samling på omkring 245 ikoner, som nästan tjugo år senare kompletterades med en gåva på ytterligare trettio ikoner. I dag består samlingen av 325 ikoner, två av dem byzantinska, cirka trettio från Grekland och Balkan och den övriga delen, alltså majoriteten, är ryska. Det äldsta föremålet är från 1300-talet. Helge Kjellin publicerade 1933 en begränsad katalog över Aschbergs donation när den överlämnades till Nationalmuseum. Den aktuella katalogen är den första som beskriver samlingen i dess helhet.

Denna volym ägnar sig åt 1800-talet och Pontus Grate slutför härmed sin översikt över Nationalmuseums samling av franska målningar; en av de mest framstående samlingarna utanför Frankrike. Där de föregående volymerna, som täckte 1600-talet (utgiven år 1988) och 1700-talet (1994), var Grates egna arbeten, samarbetar han i föreliggande volym med Peter Hedström, forskare från en yngre generation. Per Hedström har här ägnat sig åt impressionistmålarna, en uppgift som han är väl kvalificerad för efter att ha arbetat med museets viktiga utställning om impressionismen som hölls år 2003.

Dutch Paintings Part II är en del i en serie kataloger över holländska och flamländska målningar som finns på Nationalmuseum. Denna volym beskriver holländska målningar från 1600- och 1700-talen. Många verk har sitt ursprung i kungliga samlingar och andra har erhållits genom Sveriges största privata samlare, Carl Gustaf Tessin. Sex arbeten av Rembrandt, inklusive "Batavernas trohetsed till Claudius Civilis", ett lån från Konstakademien, är några av de mest berömda verken i samlingen, liksom målningar av Frans Hals, Pieter de Hooch, Caesar ans Allaert van Everdingen, Judith Leyster och Hendrick Terbrugghen.
