Comment on Why Are There Portrait Busts at Thorvaldsens Museum?
At the Thorvaldsens Museum there are 191 portrait busts by the sculptor. 140 of these are exhibited at the three floors of the museum. Among the 191 there are quite a few plaster models and finished marble versions of the same work, and also a few representing the same person but in different portraits. All in all Thorvaldsen portrayed 130 different persons – as far as is known presently.
