Albert Bertel Thorvaldsen (Danish:[ˈpɛɐ̯tl̩ˈtsʰɒːˌvælˀsn̩]; sometimes given as Thorwaldsen; 19 November 1770 – 24 March 1844) was a Danish-Icelandicsculptor and medalist of international fame,[1] who spent most of his life (1797–1838) in Italy. Thorvaldsen was born in Copenhagen into a working-class Danish/Icelandic family, and was accepted to the Royal Danish Academy of Art at the age of eleven. Working part-time with his father, who was a wood carver, Thorvaldsen won many honors and medals at the academy. He was awarded a stipend to travel to Rome and continue his education.
In Rome, Thorvaldsen made a name for himself as a sculptor. Maintaining a large workshop in the city, he worked in a heroic neo-classicist style. His patrons resided all over Europe.[2]
Upon his return to Denmark in 1838, Thorvaldsen was received as a national hero. The Thorvaldsen Museum was erected to house his works next to Christiansborg Palace. Thorvaldse

Nineteenth-century art in Europe and the Americas evolved in relative sync. Neoclassism, which was the overriding style around 1800, is represented in the Currier Museum’s collection historical narrative paintings (Bernard Duvivier), formal portraits (Louis Gauffier; Hiram Powers) and decorative arts (Boston and Sandwich Glass Company; Piranesi table). The style of these works was inspired by the excavations at the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, which had been buried since the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.
The development of Romanticism, which was in opposition to rigorously ordered Neoclassicism, is expressed in the landscape paintings of John Constable, Thomas Cole, Jasper Cropsey, and Frederick Church.
