## Commentary

In northern Europe, the spread of Romanticism in sculpture was limited. The very powerful investment of German and Scandinavian sculptors in Classicism - something that reached its peak with Thorvaldsen - perhaps helped to delay it. In Denmark, Herman Freund, a pupil of Thorvaldsen, was the one who came closest to Romanticism.
