Plant Fever: The World on the Windowsill uncovers the hidden story of how plants from tropical and subtropical regions found their way into Danish homes in the 19th century. Plant fever took the country by storm, and the green newcomers began appearing in the art of the time— first sporadically, then as a recurring motif. But houseplants are more than just decoration. They carry stories of colonial history, class divisions, gender roles—and of our relationship with nature. Today, these green companions continue to brighten up our homes, and in a time of global environmental crisis, it's worth rethinking our connection to them. Drawing on both iconic and lesser-known Danish artworks from the 19th century, this book traces the cultural and artistic journey of houseplants—from rare botanical curiosities to cherished symbols of everyday life.

Paperback. Zustand: New. The book explores how plants, once seen as exotic and foreign in the 19th century, found their way into Danish homes. A true plant fever spread, and in a short time, plants became an integral part of everyday life. Houseplants feature prominently in 19th-century paintings, yet the hidden stories of their global origins remain a blind spot in Danish art history._x000D__x000D_Many of these plants travelled vast distances as part of the large-scale plant transfers that gained momentum in the 17th century, transforming the flora and fauna of several continents. While many of these plants are now threatened in their native habitats, they thrive in European living rooms-perhaps nowhere more so than in Denmark, which boasts the highest number of houseplants per capita. These plants bring Europe's colonial history into the home, while also fostering a connection between us as their caretakers. This connection opens pathways to a more caring, diverse, and historically conscious relationship with nature. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LU-9788775976935
