Comment on Thorvaldsen's Small Silver Head - A Ruined Tondo Portrait
[The author’s note in the text] See O. Brendel, Prolegomena to the Study of Roman Art, New Haven and London 1979, passim. These questions are further discussed in my book, Romersk kunst som propaganda – Aspekter af kunstens brug (Roman art as propaganda – aspects of the use and function of art in Roman society), Copenhagen 1976, which is to be published in English in a revised edition.
