@michaeljeppesen @Jesper_Pet @LineHolm1 Vi ville ønske den myte var sand!

[Thorvaldsens Museum @ThmMuseum]

@TheHazelBowden But in the end we discovered a work in our own collection - so thank you.

[Thorvaldsens Museum @ThmMuseum]

@HistoryNeedsYou Ha ha. Thank you for your understanding.

[Thorvaldsens Museum @ThmMuseum]

@HistoryNeedsYou @TheHazelBowden Oh Dear - how embarrassing. We didn't consult our head of Thorvaldsen's Collection of Antiquities.

[Thorvaldsens Museum @ThmMuseum]

@HistoryNeedsYou @TheHazelBowden Interesting. But we have no knowledge about this work.

@Fnordmeister Thank you for your kind words!

[Thorvaldsens Museum @ThmMuseum]

@nealstimler Thank you!

[Thorvaldsens Museum @ThmMuseum]

@ajslaghu @nealstimler @MSanderhoff We are looking in to that possibility. But for now it's images from our online collection.

@peri_pteras The ring was purchased by Bertel Thorvaldsen, while living in Rome from 1797 to 1838.

[Thorvaldsens Museum @ThmMuseum]

@DrLivGibbs @CliveAslet Yes, compare with Brueghel's Peasant Wedding: e.g. table running parallel to back wall and position of waiter

@NSofienn I maleriets nuværende tilstand er det svært at aflæse - måske kunne det identificeres efter en tur hos konservatoren?#familiescene

[Thorvaldsens Museum @ThmMuseum]

@NSofienn Vi ved ikke, om maleriet i baggrunden gengiver et virkeligt maleri på familien Paulsens væg i 1838 #familiescene

@NSofienn Korset er ganske rigtigt en orden, Ridderkorset af Dannebrogsordenen #bthorvaldsen

@BettinaWeiland Værket hedder An Eternal Fight for Love - se det på udstillingen Decembristerne besøger Thorvaldsen til 1/9 2013 #marsogamor

@storbysmads Med blikket antyder Eckersberg, at billedkunstnerens arbejde består af lige dele håndværk og åndelighed #thorvaldsenportraet

[Thorvaldsens Museum @ThmMuseum]

@storbysmads Han kigger nok ikke på noget bestemt, men snarere mod noget udefineret uden for billedet #thorvaldsenportraet

[Thorvaldsens Museum @ThmMuseum]

Læg lige mærke til den slangeformede ring på Thorvaldsens finger http://t.co/fBHEyMpf #thorvaldsenportraet
