Comment on Efter 15.6.1807
In this final remark it is possible to sense Thorvaldsen’s dissatisfaction with Hansen’s proposal to execute the statues of Solon and Lycurgus in travertine. Thorvaldsen obviously felt that his artistic pride had been wounded, see more about this instance of the sculptor’s artistic pride in the Commission for the Town Hall and Courthouse.
