106 TIMARIT ÞJÓÐRÆKNISFÉLAGS ÍSLENDINGA Church of Our Lady, from whence his earhtly remains were moved, September 6th, 1848, to the final resting place in the court of the now finished Thorvaldsen Museum. Many and varied have been the monuments raised to honor the dead —the great and the not so great of this world—from the great pyramids of Egypt and down to the lowly un- marked graves of those whose mem- ory lives only among the loved ones. But it is doubtful if ever a more fitting memorial was erected, than this one to honor the memory of Bertel Thorvaldsen. For all around him stand his own works of art, the stones to which he himself gave life. The name of Bertel Thorvaldsen looms large not only in the annals of Denmark, but in the history of modern sculpture, for he recreated and re-vitalized the Greek-Roman style, and brought to it a robust- ness, and a simple manly directness that captivated his contemporaries, and won their respect. What he cre- ated was always a true art, with a real feeling of strength, beauty and simplciity, and as such it has lasting value. As he is revered in his mother country, Denmark, he must also be remembered with love and admira- tion by the descendants of his fath- er’s land,—Iceland,—for what he was and for what he gave to the world!
