Det var en helt speciel oplevelse for Joen Bille, da han for et par år siden spillede Gamle Ekdal i Det Kongelige Teaters opførelse af Henrik Ibsens Vildanden: Bille er oldebarn af Ibsen. Men ikke nok med det, han er også oldebarn af Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, endnu en af giganterne i det nittende århundredes litteratur.Familiehistorierne er mange, det er en mangfoldig arv, Joen Bille kan øse af. Han fortæller om oldeforældrene, deres baggrund, deres personlighed, ægteskab, familier, og fokus samles mere og mere om forholdet mellem Ibsens søn, Sigurd, en højtbegavet og kompliceret mand, der fik en karriere som politiker, og Bjørnsons datter Bergliot, der var koncertsangerinde. De blev gift, og deres ægteskab resulterede bl.a. i datteren Irene, der var dramatiker og blev gift med Joen Billes far, Josias Bille.Det er en familie, der er præget af passionerede personligheder, excentrisk adfærd, gigantiske ambitioner, store triumfer og tilsvarende store skuffelser og nederlag, hjerteskærende konflikter mellem generationer og ægtefæller, sørgelige og grinagtige opgør og sammenstød, bigami og dødelig jalousi, melodrama, rigdom og økonomisk ruin, højt humør og dyb fortvivlelse, hvad enten man befinder sig i Norge, i Sverige, i Danmark eller på Villa Ibsen, familiens store og på alle måder vildtvoksende og vidtfavnende domicil i Italien.

Navnet Jerichau har været mig bekendt siden min tid på Københavns Universitet. Dengang kom jeg dagligt til Hovedbygningen på Frue Plads, og derfor gik jeg ofte forbi statuen af David foran Frue Kirke, og her så jeg navnet Jerichau i bunden af statuen. Ved besøg på Statens Museum for Kunst havde jeg set Panter­jægeren med navnet Jerichau, og naturligvis kunne man se navnet Jerichau på mange af Glyptotekets statuer og figurer. Ligeledes havde jeg på et vist tidspunkt set billeder af maleren Jens Adolf Jerichau på udstillingen på Lousiana. Og jeg havde også lagt mærke til, at maleriet ”Danmark” var malet af Elisabeth Jerichau- Baumann. Sammenhængen mellem disse 3 kunstnere havde jeg imidlertid aldrig rigtigt tænkt over. Men der var – og er – en sammenhæng. Det fandt jeg så ud af, da jeg en dag mødte en rigtig levende Jerichau – i kød og blod – under et ophold på klostret San Cataldo ved Amalfi i det sydlige Italien. Det var mit første møde med billedkunstneren Jan Holger Jerichau, oldebarn af det berømte ægtepar, billedhuggeren Jens Adolf Jerichau og malerinden Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann og nevø af maleren Jens Adolf Jerichau. Det vakte min interesse og gav stof til eftertanke. Det er så hensigten med denne bog at gøre rede for kunstnerslægten Jerichau i historisk perspektiv og med udgangspunkt i den (foreløbig) sidste udøvende kunstner på stammen, Jan Holger Jerichau. Nærværende fortælling om kunstnerslægten Jerichau er en ­beretning om det usædvanlige og helt enestående i, at så mange medlemmer af familien over så lang en årrække har kunnet føre den kunstneriske tradition videre. De enkelte familiemedlemmer vil blive beskrevet som kunstnere og mennesker. Med hver deres fortrin og hver deres mangler og svagheder. Deres værker vil blive omtalt så udførligt som muligt. Vurderingen af arbejderne hentes fra udsagn af kunstkendere og kunsteksperter, som på forskellige tidspunkter har givet deres mening til kende i bøger og artikler. Mit ærinde er at gøre rede for lykke og ulykke ved det kunstneriske gen som arv fra generation til generation i slægten Jerichau.
