HANSEN, C.F. LUND, HAKON & A.L.THYGESEN

These two volumes on Christian Frederik Hansen (1756-1845) are also the author's foremost work, the result of a lifetime's research and an invaluable source of an understanding of Hansen and how some of Danish architecture's principal works were created, among them Christiansborg Castle, Copenhagen (The Seat of the Danish Parliament); The University in Oslo, Norway; Our Lady's Church and the Metropolitan School, both in Copenhagen; and many commissions in Italy and Germany. In many ways this work can be described as a break-through in Hansen research. Previously unknown material and obscure associations throw new light on the greatest Danish architect of the 19th Century
