Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) Note: Read with movie-trailer-voice. The son of an Icelandic wood carved settled in Denmark becomes one of the most sought after sculptors in Europe working for royalty, aristocrats and renowned collectors. He dies at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, buried at his own request under a bed of roses in a courtyard by the museum housing his works-ehhh!! Sculptor: Bertel Thorvaldssen
