Sculpture and the Nordic Region

Histories of sculpture within the Nordic region are under-studied and the region's influence upon and translation of influences from the wider Europe remain insufficiently traced. This volume brings to light individual histories of sculptural mobility from the early modern period onwards. Examining the movement of sculptures, sculptors, practices, skills, styles and motifs across borders, through studios, public architectures, within popular and print culture and via texts the essays collected here consider the extent to which the sculptural artwork is changed by its physical movement and its transfigurations in other media.
