Bertel Thorvaldsen, 1770-1884 Copenhagen, was a prominent representative of the neoclassical period in sculpture. He is often compared to Antonio Canova, but in fact it embodies the style of classical Greek art than the Italian artist.

Much of the work of Thorvaldsen is imbued with Classicist sensibility, with allegorical reliefs and sculptures of classical themes, (reliefs, statues, and busts) were mainly taken from Greek mythology, but also he created portraits of important personalities, historical figures and memorials.
