Nicodemus Tessin the Elder was an architect, gentleman, and founder of the artistic dynasty that was immensely influential at the Swedish court in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He was architect to the crown, to the nobility, and to the city of Stockholm, and he supplied buildings for a wide range of functions, from palaces to banks, courthouses, and fortifications. His unusually extensive travels in the Netherlands, Italy, France and Germany provided him with a comprehensive picture of contemporary European architecture, which he drew on as he synthesized a new group of buildings that would attract international attention as models for princely architecture. His productivity required a new approach to architecture, and he was part of the first generation of architects in northern Europe to develop the architectural studio, distinguishing the design process from the business of building, and in the process recreating himself as the modern architect. Kristoffer Neville is assistant professor of early modern art and architecturein the department of art history at the University of California, Riverside.

The core of the work is an extended study of the career of the architect Nicodemus Tessin (1615-1681), demonstrating how an ambitious talent from Germany could have an important career in this period. Tessin began his career as a fortifications engineer, but soon turned primarily to civil architecture, and built a number of important buildings around the kingdom of Sweden. Joachim von Sandrart includes a short biography of him in the Teutsche Academie , and discusses several of his palaces. The influential architectural theorist Leonhard Christoph Sturm promoted some of Tessin's work as a model for princely architecture, and the topographical survey Suecia antiqua et hodierna ensured a broad circulation of his ideas. Through these means, Tessin's work and the general cultural legacy of the Stockholm court found an audience outside of the kingdom, but almost exclusively within the Holy Roman Empire.

Politically and militarily powerful, early modern Scandinavia played an essential role in the development of Central European culture from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. In this volume, Kristoffer Neville shows how the cultural ambitions of Denmark and Sweden were inextricably bound to those of other Central European kingdoms. Tracing the visual culture of the Danish and Swedish courts from the Reformation to their eventual decline in the eighteenth century, Neville explains how and why they developed into important artistic centers. He examines major projects by figures largely unknown outside of Northern Europe alongside other, more canonical artists—including Cornelis Floris, Adriaen de Vries, and Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach—to propose a more coherent view of this part of Europe, one that rightly includes Scandinavia as a vital component. The seventeenth century has long seemed a bleak moment in Central European culture. Neville’s authoritative and unprecedented study does much to change this perception, showing that the arts did not die in the Reformation and Thirty Years’ War but rather flourished in the Baltic region.
