A good scholarly monograph devoted to the Danish architect Caspar Frederik Harsdorff (1735-1799). Harsdorff studied in Paris and Rome between 1757 and 1763, and as Denmark's official royal architect from 1770 onwards was responsible for significant building projects at many of the Danish royal palaces, and also for the design of King Frederik V's beautiful mortuary chapel at Roskilde Cathedral. Although the text of the present book is in Danish, its final pages provide a lengthy summary in French.
