About the product
Royal Copenhagen Portraits of Old Copenhagen plate no. 2 Year of issue: 1978 Motif: The Thorvaldsen Museum which was built during the years 1839-1848 by Michael Gottlieb Bindesboll Designed by: Mads Stage
The second plate in a series of twelve. Thorvaldsen Museum was opened in 1848, to show works of the artist himself together with his big collection of paintings and classic antiques. Thorvaldsen was born in Copenhagen in 1770. He lived in Rome Italy for many years establishing himself as a famous sculptor. He did not return to Copenhagen until 1838. The museum was given to his native town as a present. The artist's grave is situated in the museum's court.
Copenhagen Prospects was issued in three sets of four over three years from 1978 to 1980. It was Mads Stage, who drew the drawings of the historic buildings for Royal Copenhagen. The rim of the plates, which surrounds the motifs in gold, are inspired by the cast iron fench that surrounds the top of The Round Tower. It was both a technical and artistic challenge for Royal Copenhagen to transfer the delicate and light watercolour drawings to the porcelain and therefore Copenhagen Prospects is an example of the level artistic abilities in 1980. The oranamental plates can be used both as table plates for the festive table and as decoration for the walls in the living room. Then you will also have a practical and decorative means of storage, when the plates are not in use.
