Relief inspired by a work of (Thorvaldsen), the triumphal entry of the great Babylon, 1822.
Bertel Thorvaldsen, Copenhagen 1770-1884, was an outstanding representative of the neoclassical period sculpture. It is often been compared to Antonio Canova, but in fact embodies the style of classical Greek art on that of the Italian artist. Much
Thorvaldsen's work is infused with classical sensitivity, with allegorical reliefs and sculptures from classical theme (reliefs, statues and busts) are taken mainly from Greek mythology, but also portrayed personalities, historical figures and memorials.
His works can be seen in many European countries, especially in the Thorvaldsen Museum.
