Comment on Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen, Residencies

In the numerous letters urging Thorvaldsen to come to Denmark, his free professor’s apartment is mentioned frequently as the asset which—together with the promise of abundant Danish commissions—would supposedly convince Thorvaldsen to move back to Denmark of his own accord. See the documents associated with the topic Requests to Come to Denmark Until 1819 and ditto for the period 1820-1838.
