‘Sculpture was less strongly affected by Romantic tendencies than painting — at the time it was considered an essentially unromantic art. Yet while such sculptors as Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844[ce]) maintained the most unyielding of classical styles, there was a more emotive side to most Neoclassical sculpture.’
