Danmark og zarernes Rusland 1600-1900 (Bog)

Treasures from the Kremlin From 1547, when Ivan the Terrible declared himself tsar of Russia, to 1712, when Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg, one of the highlights of Moscow court life was the formal presentation of diplomatic gifts to the tsar. These fabulous offerings have been preserved intact in the Moscow Kremlin Armory, in a collection that cannot be matched by any other royal treasury in the world. Now many of these objects are published in this gloriously illustrated volume -- the first in English on the subject -- that accompanies a major exhibition at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Ranging from arms and armor and exquisite textiles to spectacular works in gold and silver, gifts received by the tsars are masterpieces of the decorative arts -- and afford a fascinating glimpse of international relations during a period when Russia emerged as a world power.

Splendours of the Romanovs From 11 July to 13 September 2009 the Grimaldi Forum in Montecarlo presents an exhibition focused on Mother Russia during the Romanov era. The Romanov dynasty reigned over Russia for three hundred years. Every sovereign was without exception crowned in the cathedral of the Dormition within the Kremlin. The coronation ceremonies used to return the former capital to the splendour it had lost to Saint Petersburg. The exhibition and its catalogue aim to make it possible to rediscover a Moscow that is frequently overlooked by foreign visitors in favour of the northern capital and, through the works of art embodying the dynasty, reveal the reign of the Romanovs, which symbolizes almost three centuries of Russian artistic riches.

The Soviet Trade in Nationalized Art, 1917-1938 Selling Russia's Treasures documents one of the great cultural dramas of the twentieth century: the sale, by a cash-hungry Soviet government, of the artistic treasures accumulated by the Russian aristocracy over the centuries and nationalized after the October 1917 revolution. An astonishing variety of objects, from icons and illuminated manuscripts to Fabergé eggs and Old Master paintings, entered the collections of wealthy Westerners like Andrew Mellon and Armand Hammer in the 1920s and 30s. Written by the leading experts in the field and long regarded as the definitive book on the subject, the original Russian edition of Selling Russia's Treasures is sought after scholars and laymen alike. Now, for the first time, it is made available in English, in a revised and expanded edition that includes a new chapter on the secret files of the Her

Magtpolitiske, dynastiske, kulturelle og handelsmæssige forbindelser Svend Aage Christensen & Henning Gottlieb Femten bidragydere præsenterer et farverigt billede af de dansk-russiske forbindelser gennem 500 år. I tekst og billeder er bogen en guldgrube af information om de to landes fælles historie. Her krydses magtpolitiske, dynastiske, kulturelle og handelsmæssige motiver. Vi hører f.eks. historien om danske prinsers fantastiske bryllupsrejser til Moskva i 1600-tallet og kan læse Peter Ulf Møllers underholdende gennemgang af, hvad danske rejsende og geografibøger har haft at sige om russerne gennem tiderne. Der er også artikler om Rasmus Æreboes oversættelse af den russiske lov, om litteratur og videnskab, og om Holbergs Danmarkshistorie som redskab i russisk samfundskritik. Blandt de mere moderne emner er forbindelserne mellem de to landes hoffer i det 19. århundrede og om dansk erhv

This is a major pictorial work about the Romanov dynasty, the supreme rulers of Russia for over 300 years, with special emphasis on the life of Nicholas II, the last Tsar. Moreover, it is an unsurpassed photographic record of the lives of the last reigning members of the Russian Royal family. The great majority of the photographs used in this book have never been published before, and have rarely been seen even by researchers from the West, having remained hidden in the archives for 70 years, since the Russian revolution. The many contemporary photographs depict Russian royalty in ceremonial dress and at leisure in informal surroundings. There are also such unique items as Rasputin, (the mad monk) and confidant of the Tsarina, Alexandra, pictured surrounded by female admirers.
