Abstract

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts has evaluated Thorvaldsen’s Bacchus and Ariadne, A1, and is pleased with his progress regarding his modelling skills. However, a sample of his marble work has not yet been presented to the Academy.

In spite of this, he will receive the remaining two years of his travelling grant, part of which is to be spent on his journey home. The Academy recommends him to travel via Paris.

P: M:

Af den Academiet foreviiste og af Dem forfærdigede Gruppe, forestillende Bacchus og Ariadne, har samme med Fornøyelse erfaret Deres Fremgang i Modelleringen. Af Marmor Arbejde er endnu intet foreviist.
Academiets Tanker om det Arbejde der er undervejs, skal nærmere vorde Dem bekjendtgjort, naar det hertil ankommer.
De øvrige 2 Aars Rejse Stipendium er Dem bevilget; og da De behøver en Deel til Deres Hjemrejse, er det tillige afgjort, at det eene Aars Stipendium kan vorde Dem avanceret i hvad Terminer De ønsker, naar De derom nærmere gjør Ansøgning hos Academiet.
Dersom Omstændighederne tillade det, og De finder det gavnligt for Dem, vil Academiet intet have imod, at De indretter Dem saaledes, at De paa Hjemrejsen kunde opholde Dem noget i Paris.–
Det Kongl. Maler Billedh: og Bygn: Academie den 3” Decbr 1799.
