Bissen Marbles in Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek

The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen owns well over 700 items by the prolific Danish artist Herman Wilhelm Bissen (1798-1868) — in Denmark better known as H.W. Bissen. Only a fraction of his works are on display at any given time but the group often referred to as the "Bissen Marbles" are currently displayed in the gallery next to the modern wing used for temporary exhibitions.

H.W. Bissen marbles from left to right:

Bathing Girl / Badende pige, 1856-60
Shepherd Boy / Hyrdedreng, 1863-68
Hylas, 1846
Danaid / Danaid (by Vilhelm Bissen, 1880)
Boy, Fishing / Fiskerdreng, 1842
Girl, Setting her Hair / Pige, der sætter sit hår, 1842
Psyche tests out the Point of Amor´s Arrow / Psyke prøver odden på Amors pil, 1838-9
(Not seen in this photo: Paris with the Apple / Paris med æblet, 1841— rare marble version by H.W. Bissen.)

Most of these marbles were carved by his son Vilhelm Bissen (1836-1913) — several commissioned by Carl Jacobsen. Dates above refer to the original sculpture conception, not the marble versions.

The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen was founded by the owner of the Carlsberg Breweries, Carl Jacobsen (1842-1914) one of the 19th century’s great industrial magnates and patrons of the arts. Many of the museum’s sculptures and paintings were bought by Carl Jacobsen directly from the artists and were, of course, contemporary art at the time.

On display in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark.
