Thorwaldsen (pseudo Renaissance): *
Jason with the Golden Fleece, Thorvaldsen's first masterpiece
in 1801 he produced this model for a statue of Jason; highly praised by Antonio Canova, but the work was slow in selling and his stipend having run out, he planned his return to Denmark. In 1803, as he was set to leave Rome, he received the commission for the work in marble from Thomas Hope, a wealthy English art-patron. From that time Thorvaldsen's success was assured, and he did not leave Italy for 16 years. Jason was not finished until 1828, as Thorvaldsen quickly became a busy man.
