Comment on 6.8.1804
By virtue of his contacts in Denmark, Schubart had played a crucial role in the efforts to obtain the Danish government’s official acceptance of Thorvaldsen’s continued stay in Rome. Thus Schubart had solved a very pressing problem for Thorvaldsen, so it was no overstatement to say that Schubart had “done all for” the sculptor; see more about this in the related article A Free Man. Thorvaldsen’s Continuance in Rome.
