| | Contemporary Review: Art from Copenhagen: two brewers' legacy at the Royal Academy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | The father, Carl Jacobsen (1842-1914), inherited a love of statuary, which is why the gallery he built alongside the enchanting Tivoli Pleasure Gardens is called the Glyptotek, or Museum of Sculpture. |
 | | Both Carl Jacobsen and his son Helge (1882-1946) ignored their prodigiously imaginative Swedish contemporary Carl Milles, little known outside Scandinavia but quite likely to be regarded, in times to come, as the most brilliant sculptor of the twentieth century. |
 | | Millet's Death and the Miller (the first painting Carl Jacobsen bought) is an honest and sympathetic rendering of the rustic's dismay, as wearied out and crooked from his labours, he perceives the alternative of Death, a skeleton skilfully delineated by the adhesion of a thin shroud to its bones. |
