Comment on Jason and the Hope Commission
Louis Bobé writes in Frederikke Brun, op. cit., p. 184, that Keller “pointed” Jason, i.e., carved the statue into its basic form; but this should simply be understood as meaning that Keller worked on this task together with Finelli, but soon thereafter, as mentioned previously, had to withdraw.
