Comment on 22.7.1822
Dahl is known for not having created his own school; on the contrary, he felt strongly about artistic freedom, in the widest possible sense, and the individuality of his pupils.
Thorvaldsen agreed complete with Dahl. This freedom was part of the spirit of the time – see his encouraging words to H.C. Andersen in letter dated 8.1.1834 or the article A Free Man. Thorvaldsen’s Continuance in Rome.
