Gottlieb Bindesbøll
Gottlieb Bindesbøll (1800-1856) is one of the most important figures in Danish architectural history and is best known for his design of Thorvaldsens Museum. The museum, which was completed in 1848, is considered one of the most important examples of Danish neoclassicism and is known for its grandeur and elegance. Bindesbøll's architectural practice is characterised by a personal and unorthodox approach to historical styles, which is reflective of a romantic conception of art. This approach results in an architecture that is rich with symbols and has a surprisingly modern character. The publication shows Bindesbøll's range of architectural styles and the role he played in the transition from classicism to historicism.
