Hebe of thorvaldsen pottery statue late 19th / early 20th century height 150cm width 55cm depth 55cm weight 50kg manufacture tuscany - italy material terracotta note: only delivery by sea shipping for outside europe copenhagen, thorvaldsens museum this marble hebe was created by the danish sculptor bertel thorvaldsen in 1806, and is now kept in the thorvaldsens museum in copenhagen, the museum dedicated precisely to the great neoclassical artist who for this creation proved to be inspired by antonio canova, with whom he found himself at " rival" during his long stay in italy. Thorvaldsen was a particularly purist neoclassical and proposed an integral neoclassicism, more severe than that of canova: thus, if sometimes the works of antonio canova "Abandon" to sensuality, those of thorvaldsen remained adherent one hundred percent to what were the dictates of neoclassicism, according to which the work of art did not have to involve the observer emotionally, but had to involve him intellectually as the subjects of the works had to be idealised, formal, rational (this as a response to the excess and exuberance of baroque art that had characterized the previous years). We realize this if we compare canova's ebe of 1796 (as well as the subsequent replicas) with thorvaldsen's ebe: the first is characterized by movement, so much so that it seems to fly gracefully in the air, the second is formally frontal, which draws direct suggestions from the ancient greek art, which bertel thorvaldsen knew deeply. According to greek mythology, hebe, daughter of zeus and hera, was the handmaid of the olympian gods. Bertel thorvaldsen, also in italian alberto thorwaldsen, arrived in rome and decided to call himself alberto (declining to alberto or albrecht in the danish or german context), a name he kept until his death (copenhagen, november 19, 1770 - copenhagen, march 24, 1844), is was a danish sculptor, exponent of neoclassicism. Thorvaldsen claimed to have been born on november 19, 1770 (but the date has never really been clarified, according to some he was born in 1768, according to others in 1771 or 1772) from gotskalk thorvaldsen, an icelandic wood carver who had settled in denmark as a trader , and by karen dagnes; as to his birthplace, some sources mention the danish capital, others indicate a ship traveling between iceland and denmark, and in iceland some believe that he was a native of the island. The young thorvaldsen followed his father's first art lessons, to then enter the free school of the royal academy of fine arts in copenhagen at the age of only eleven, where he was mainly followed by nikolaj abraham abildgaard. In 1787 thorvaldsen was awarded a small silver medal in recognition of his qualities in modeling materials and two years later he was awarded the large silver medal for his bas-relief "Love resting". Following the awarding of the bas-relief "The expulsion of heliodorus from the temple" (1791), the minister count christian frederik reventlow took thorvaldsen under his wing and provided him with the financial means necessary for the continuation of his studies. In 1793, the bas-relief the apostles peter and john healing a cripple was awarded a large gold medal and a royal grant for a study trip to rome, which thorvaldsen was unable to undertake at first due to the many jobs that required him. Been commissioned. For another three years the sculptor gave private drawing lessons and above all created numerous statues for the palace of crown prince frederick in amalienborg palace. The busts of the politicians count andreas peter von bernstorff and tyge rothe are also from the same period. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
