EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Bas-relief roundel of Day, created between 1815-1820 by the skilled hands of Bertel Thorvaldsen. Encased in an exquisite giltwood frame, this marble masterpiece measures 45x45 cm and is currently held within a private collection. The roundel depicts a beautifully carved female figure with majestic wings gracefully spread behind her. She soars through the air, embodying the essence of flight and freedom. Adorned with delicate flowers and holding a torch symbolizing enlightenment, she exudes an aura of allegorical significance. A tender touch is added to this stunning sculpture as it features a child nestled against the woman's side, emphasizing themes of nurturing and protection. The intricate carving technique brings out every detail on their figures, showcasing Thorvaldsen's mastery in stone sculpting. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Day itself through this bas-relief roundel. The winged woman represents the dawning light that banishes darkness while bringing forth new beginnings and possibilities. Her presence radiates warmth and optimism as she carries forward nature's bountiful offerings. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the beauty and intricacy of Thorvaldsen's workmanship. It serves as a testament to his talent for creating timeless sculptures that continue to captivate viewers centuries later.
