Jiang Miao — Heavenly Eyes (acrylic on woodboard with carving, 2026)

This portrait of the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen is considered to be one of Eckersberg’s best. The subject is dressed in the black habit of a member of Academia San Lucas. He is gazing into the distance and in the background can be seen his Alexander Frieze for the Quirinal Palace, a reminder that he like Alexander had won renown, but in the field of art. Thorvaldsen was the most famous Dane of his time and spent 40 years in Rome.
