A Victorious Danish Soldier (1850-1851), Herman Wilhelm Bissen (1798-1868), The National Gallery (Copenhagen, Denmark). Made with Memento Beta (now ReCap Photo) from AutoDesk. Bissen pays homage to the Danish foot soldier from the war 1848-1851, where the Danish government prevented the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein from leaving the Kingdom of Denmark. The sculpture marks the first time in European history that a memorial to military victory did not show a goddess, a general, or a monarch, but a simple, anonymous soldier from the battlefields.
