Bertel Thorvaldsen was a celebrated Danish sculptor of the 19th century, renowned for his mastery of neoclassical art. Born into humble beginnings in Copenhagen, Thorvaldsen's exceptional talent earned him early admission to the Royal Danish Academy of Art.

His career took a transformative turn after receiving a stipend to study in Rome, where he achieved international acclaim. Among his most iconic works is the *Christus* statue, revered for its profound symbolism and distinctive posture. This masterpiece has been embraced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a central representation of faith.

Upon returning to Denmark, Thorvaldsen was hailed as a national hero. His legacy was immortalized with the establishment of the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen, where his works are celebrated and where he is laid to rest. Thorvaldsen's dedication to neoclassical ideals continues to resonate, with his sculptures displayed in prestigious museums and collections across Europe and around the world, ensuring his artistry endures for generations to come.
