Book: ROYAL TREASURES & CROWN JEWELS OFFER

Jim Lyngvild has gone exploring Rosenborg Castle's treasury and has been granted permission to show royal treasures in a new and previously unseen light. It's a heartfelt expression that shapes the overall picture — and a pleasurable walkthrough of Denmark's most beautiful treasures.

You'll be amazed and captivated by the details, the workmanship and the quality — presented with rare sharpness and a love for the nation's finest objects. Wild, bloody, seductive, erotic and exotic — that's how Lyngvild wants to present these pieces, while still respecting their elevated character and the poetry that surrounds most of them. Objects made for power, splendor and admiring gazes. Jewels as large as quail eggs, and pearls so old that their origins have been lost. Crowns for anointing and jewelry worn by the legendary kings and queens of the past. This is a walk on the wings of fairy tales, like nothing you've ever seen. Join in as Denmark's royal treasures, crown jewels and most beautiful costumes are shown in all their splendor and glory.

The result is outstanding. Each photograph, through its staging, succeeds in teasing our curiosity and unleashing our imagination.
