Orestes
Herman W. Bissen sculpted Orestes Flees from the Eumenides in 1850. This particular
sculpture hall at the Glyptotek is popular with art students for sketching sessions.
- dramatisk och dynamisk - This sculpture of Orestes is a favorite of many. Guided and influenced by Thorvaldsen, Bissen changed his sculptural style from the romantic to the neo-classic. Again notice the details of the gallery with the lavishly carved ceiling and the Wedgwood like panels above the freezes.
