Cows Looking Back :Agriculture and Life in 19th Century Landscape Paintings
No full textFortællingen om vækst og udbytte er stærk, når historien om det danske landbrug skrives, og ofte bruges kunstværker til at illustrere historien. Men hvilken verden åbner kunsten, når den ikke blot ses som illustrerende en udvikling, men ser tilbage på os gennem køernes blikke? Hvilken fortælling lader kunstnerne køerne fortælle? Artiklen ser på værker indkøbt til Statens Museum for Kunst i perioden 1880 til 1900, hvor industrialiseringen af det danske landbrug tog fart. Formålet er at undersøge, om værkerne afspejler den ændring i vores omverdensforhold, som skete, da koen blev et produktionsdyr i stedet for en allieret

No full textSMK – Statens Museum for Kunst er Danmarks nationalgalleri for kunst og har ansvar for landets største kunstsamling. Over 200.000 værker, der spænder over 700 år fra renæssancegrafik til nutidens kunstneriske formater. Denne bog præsenterer 50 værker fra SMK’s samling, der markerer sig som relevante lige nu, både i lyset af aktuel forskning og nylige udstillinger – og den samtid, museet er en del af. Udvalget består af kendte såvel som mindre kendte værker, som alle rummer høj kunstnerisk kvalitet og interessante historier. Bogen udpeger ikke udelukkende samlingens hovedværker, men tegner til gengæld en levende kunsthistorie gennem en evigt aktuel samling
Exploring the potential for a 9000-year tree-ring chronology consisting of subfossil oak material from southern Scandinavia
Get PDFIn this study, we present the initial results from a long-term initiative to develop a multi-millennial tree-ring width (TRW) chronology for subfossil oak (Quercus spp.) trees in South Scandinavia. We have constructed 40 TRW chronologies, primarily from oak trunks extracted from peatlands, archaeological sites, drainage ditches,and infrastructure projects, as well as some submerged material. The trees included in these chronologies have been dendrochronologically dated and/or dated by radiocarbon, showing a temporal spread from 6911 ± 246 BCE to 1117 CE. Significant assemblages of trees are found during the periods 6000–4500 BCE, 3500–2600 BCE, 1750–1200 BCE, 900–400 BCE, and 200 BCE–500 CE, with intervening periods exhibiting low sample replication or gaps. The paleoclimatic information extracted from TRW and replication data may vary based on the substrate in which the trees were rooted, geographical locations, and the prevailing climate conditions during their growth. Nevertheless, extending the oak TRW chronologies is crucial because (1) no such long and annuallyresolved climate records from southern Scandinavia exist, (2) there is a widespread lack of detailed paleoclimatic proxies spanning multi-millennial periods, and (3) it will provide an essential dating tool for wooden archaeologicalartifacts. This study is the first in a series aimed at refining paleoclimatic and ecological reconstructions in southern Scandinavia. It demonstrates the potential to develop South Scandinavian TRW chronologies covering the last 9000 years, filling a geographical gap in an ecologically sensitive region.In this study, we present the initial results from a long-term initiative to develop a multi-millennial tree-ring width (TRW) chronology for subfossil oak (Quercus spp.) trees in South Scandinavia.
