The Prince and Princess of Wales at Thorwaldsen's Museum, Copenhagen, 1864. Creator: Unknown
The Prince and Princess of Wales at Thorwaldsen's Museum, Copenhagen, 1864. The future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra inspecting '...the works of the great Danish sculptor, Thorwaldsen... the contents of the building...are divided into two parts; the first consisting of pieces of sculpture actually chiselled by Thorwaldsen, or copies in marble or plaster of his works; the second being the collection of objects of ancient and modern art which he amassed during his lifetime. Some idea of the extent of the Museum may be gained from the fact that, irrespective of the plaster casts, it includes no less than four groups, seventeen statues, eighteen busts, sixty-one bas-reliefs, and a frieze, in marble. The total number of Thorwaldsen's works collected here is about 650...The Prince and Princess of Wales, with the Queen of Denmark and Prince John, stayed about two hours in the Museum, passing from one to another of the small rooms, about twenty altogether, each of which contains one important statue or group, with bas-reliefs and other minor works around the walls'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as the future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, then known as the Prince and Princess of Wales, explore Thorwaldsen's Museum in Copenhagen in 1864. The royal couple can be seen admiring the works of the great Danish sculptor, Bertel Thorwaldsen, whose masterpieces adorn the museum walls.
The image provides a glimpse into their visit to this renowned cultural institution, where they spent hours immersed in art and history. The museum houses an impressive collection of sculptures chiselled by Thorwaldsen himself, as well as copies of his iconic works. In addition to these pieces, there are numerous objects of ancient and modern art that he amassed during his lifetime.
As they wander through the various rooms filled with statues, busts, bas-reliefs, and friezes in marble, it is evident that the Prince and Princess are captivated by the beauty and craftsmanship on display. Accompanied by Queen Louise of Denmark and Prince John, they soak up every detail with curiosity and admiration.
This photograph not only documents a significant moment for royalty but also serves as a testament to their appreciation for art and culture. It immortalizes a time when two future monarchs were united in their shared love for creativity and beauty.
