There are, however, great Protestant artists of Christian themes: Albrecht Durer, Holman Hunt, the Danish sculptor Thorvaldsen, to name a few.And then things get usurped...
Christus is a 19th-century Carrara marble statue of the resurrected Jesus by Bertel Thorvaldsen. Since its completion in 1838, the statue has been located in the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen, Denmark ... The inscription at the base of the sculpture reads "Kommer til mig" ("Come to me") with a reference to the Bible ...
The inspiration for Bertel Thorvaldsen's Christus statue is unknown and could have come from his study of classical Greek sculptures, especially the work of Raphael. ... All five models are in Thorvaldsen's Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark.
