Monument to Aloisia De Chaudoir, the beautiful Austrian woman daughter of the baron Felix Erggelet. She was and still is very well known in Ukraine, where the original of this beautiful monument can be found. The tombstone was made of marble in Thorvaldsen's workshop 1819-1821. The relief was erected in the family burial site of the now demolished estate in Ivnytsya, Ukraine. The monument was vandalised in 1919 and again risked of being damaged by the Nazis during World War II. For this reason it was hidden until it was finally moved to the Zhytomyr Regional Museum, where it’s now preserved.

About the author:
Thorvaldsen
Thorvaldsens Museum opened on 18 September 1848 and was the first public museum building in Denmark. The characteristic museum building was built to exhibit the extensive life’s work of the sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) and today still looks more or less as it did when it opened over 150 years ago. Thorvaldsens Museum also contains Thorvaldsen's drawings and sketches for sculptures and reliefs. In addition Thorvaldsen was a passionate collector, so the museum also exhibits his extensive collections of paintings from his own time and collections of artworks and objects from Greek, Roman and Egyptian antiquity. The museum also shows changing exhibitions that go into greater depth with aspects of the permanent collections, including contemporary art.
