Komponisten J.P.E. Hartmann 1860

This marble bust, sculpted by Danish artist H.W. Bissen in 1860, portrays the composer J.P.E. Hartmann. It is a realistic depiction of Hartmann's features, emphasizing his strong character and thoughtful expression. This sculpture, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Bissen's mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subject. The bust exemplifies the neoclassical style, a revival of classical art principles from ancient Greece and Rome, evident in its idealized form and attention to detail.
