In the Scandinavian countries, Neoclassicism remained a potent presence in the nineteenth century, notably in Denmark, where Thorvaldsen's influence was still very strong. Hermann Wilhelm Bissen and Jens Adolph Jerichau were the great representatives of Danish Neoclassicism in mid-nineteenth century.
Like Bissen, Jerichau spent a long time in Rome. In his later works, many of whose subjects in fact avoided the history and mythology of the ancient world, he yielded to a lyricism that was not without sensuality.
