"Bertel Thorvaldsen - Porcelain Biscuit - Eneret"
Bertel Thorvaldsen with the Goddess of Hope.The Danish sculptor is depicted here sculpting the figure of the goddess Hypse, the personification of hope on which he relies. This sculpture, made in a neoclassical style, reflects the sculptor's technical mastery as well as his commitment to translating abstract concepts through art. In this work, Thorvaldsen places himself as a craftsman, working on both a statue and a symbolic ideal.
The image reinforces the idea that art is a powerful means of transmitting universal emotions and ideas.
