🌑 ☀️ Bertel Thorvaldsen’s ‘Night and Day’ are two of the defining icons of Neoclassical art. The sculptor created his iconic relief models after a restless night in the summer of 1815 whilst he was staying in a boarding house in Rome. According to Thorvaldsen’s biographer, Just Mathias Thiele, he was discovered by his friend, the Danish painter Wilhelm Eckersberg, “early one morning, before the house had woken [sketching] an image that he felt had been revealed to him during the night”. Inspired by insomnia, the sculptor conceived the personification of Night in the form of a winged woman in drowsy flight, her head tipped forwards in sleep and garlanded with poppies symbolising opium-induced torpor. Day takes the form of a young woman, who, awake, scatters roses on all before her. The contrast between the roses, which evoke vivid colour, and the flame of the torch, creates a clever illusion of light and dark, day and night.
These exquisite examples of Neoclassical sculpture will be offered tomorrow as part of our Treasures auction in London.
