Laurits Tuxen (1853-1927) was a phenomenally talented artist, and thanks to his skill for both painting and diplomacy, he would establish himself as one of the most important European court painters in the nineteenth century, active, amongst other places, in Great Britain, where he created a number of memorable portraits of Queen Victoria and her family, and in Russia, where he depicted coronations and weddings in the families of the Czars. This book offers the first complete presentation of Tuxens 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 commissioned Tuxen to depict important royal events such as the wedding of the Duke of York and Princess Mary of Teck in 1893, and he produced several masterful paintings on the occasion of Queen Victorias Diamond Jubilee in 1897. Laurits Tuxen: The Court Paintings is a must for students, scholars and readers with a general interest in art and the world of the European courts. The book takes us one step closer to the great painter and his relations with the royals of Europe, not least those of Great Britain.
