The main author of the new Tuxen book, Thyge Christian Fønss-Lundberg, is a prolific writer. His latest solo book - and first book in English - was published only a few months ago: The excellent 'Regal Faces - Danish Royal Portraits from King Christian IX to Queen Margrethe II'.

The cover shows a part of Tuxen's famous portrait of Christian IX's family - the painting that kick-started his long career as court painter.
