Portrait of Thorvaldsen, Rudolph Suhrlandt, 1781-1862, 1810, Painting, Portrait, The German painter Rudolph Suhrlandt was in Rome 1808-1816. While there he painted the portraits of a number of artists belonging to the German artists’ colony, but also one of Thorvaldsen, who is here portrayed as a dynamic, self-assured figure. Nor had Thorvaldsen any reason to hide his light under a bushel. He had in 1805 been given the title of professor in the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts at Copenhagen and in 1808 in the S. Luca Academy in Rome., Textile, Canvas, Color, Oil paint, Painted
