THE SONNE FRIEZE

Sonne took his liberties

Sonne has also allowed his imagination free range in his reconstruction of the transport of Thorvaldsen’s works of art from the Rota to the museum. This is the part of the frieze that turns towards Christiansborg Palace. To begin with, the museum had simply not been built when Thorvaldsen returned to Copenhagen. The workers appearing in this part of the frieze were in reality portraits of artisans employed on building the museum in 1846-47, who were called in turn into the museum to sit for Sonne when he was making his sketches.

The frieze - unique in Danish art

Sonne’s frieze, which runs around three sides of Thorvaldsens Museum, is unique in Danish art in the way in which it combines the portrayal of a single moment – a specific historical event – with a political statement as it emphasises the emerging middle classes in Denmark.

The history of collecting in Denmark and Norway in the 19th century is intimately connected with the history of the painters and sculptors active during that period.

Major collectors of the Age were Prince Christian Frederik (later King Christian VIII of Denmark), who mainly acquired paintings and sculptures by contemporary artists, and the portrait painter Christian Albrecht Jensen, whose preference was to buy and sell the works of Old Masters. In Copenhagen, the collections of the Counts Moltke, which mainly consisted of works by Dutch painters, was open to the public, while the Royal Collection (today a part of Statens Museum for Kunst) could only be visited from 1827 onwards. None of the three collections dealt with in the present article have survived until today, while the works of art and the antiques belonging to the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen are at present housed in the museum bearing his name.
