Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) was a Danish sculptor of European renown.
Thorvaldsen was an outstanding representative of the Neo-Classical period in sculpture - often compared to Canova but, in fact, more than the Italian artist embodying the style of classical Greek art.
His works can be seen in many European countries, and especially in the Thorvaldsen Museum (http://www.thorvaldsensmuseum.dk/shownewslist.asp?ID=17) in Copenhagen, where his tomb is in the inner courtyard.

 Historie
Bertel Thorvaldsen udførte knap 550 skulpturer, relieffer og portrætbuster.
Den tekniske fremgangsmåde ved fremstillingen af en skulptur i marmor eller bronze gjorde, at der altid - når den færdige skulptur var blevet afleveret til sin køber - blev en model i gips i fuld størrelse stående tilbage i atelieret.
Når dertil kommer de mange skitser i mindre størrelse til skulpturerne og de omfattende samlinger af malerier, tegninger, kobberstik, antikke genstande, bøger og meget andet, som Thorvaldsen erhvervede sig igennem mange år, kan man forstå, at han selv har gjort sig tanker om, hvad der skulle blive af det hele.

This contrasted strongly with Bertel Thorvalsden's (1768-1844) Three Graces, Hebe (1816) or Ganymede with Jupiter as the Eagle (1817) which are essentially-static, fixed, and frontal.
Thorvaldsen was not a profound observer of character, and his work has been criticized by some modern critics for being rather cold and devoid of feeling.
However, Thorvaldsen still deserves to be ranked alongside Canova and John Flaxman as one of the greatest Neoclassical sculptors.

When Riise approached the museum, the daguerreotype was in the possession of the photographer to the Swedish royal court, Johannes Jaeger, and Riise was acting on his behalf.
As this was not the case, we could be led to believe that the impression of Thorvaldsen given by the daguerreotype was at total odds with the one given by the plentiful supply of other visual and literary representations of the great sculptor.
Fortunately, Thorvaldsens Museum was offered the daguerreotype again at a later date, and purchased it in 1909.

Thorvaldsen's Christus is also commonly associated with the Church due in large part to numerous copies that stand in temple visitors' centers.
Thorvaldsen's Christus is easy to find, but Bloch's paintings and etchings are scattered throughout numerous parish churches and museums in Denmark and southern Sweden.
However, because of the Church's frequent communication with those who maintain Thorvaldsen's and Bloch's work, Wilcox says he did not encounter the least trouble filming in all the locations.
