Details
A pair of moulded terracotta relief plaques depicting Day and Night, after the celebrated pendant compositions by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844).Conceived by Thorvaldsen in 1815, the allegorical subjects represent the opposing halves of the day. Night is shown carrying the sleeping figures of Sleep and Death, while Day advances with the young genius of light.Executed in terracotta with raised buff-coloured figures against dark grounds, the plaques are characteristic of the classical wares produced in Copenhagen during the middle decades of the nineteenth century, particularly those associated with P. Ipsen.Presented as a matched pair in aged giltwood frames with olive-green textile mounts and circular timber slips. The frames retain an attractive surface and wear consistent with age.Copenhagen, circa 1850–1870.19 cm high × 19 cm wide each.
