Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) drew throughout life both on new, clean paper, but equally on all paper that was within reach (the back of other drawings, backs of letters, invitations, bills, etc.). Thorvaldsen's drawings are first and foremost sketches for his sculptures and reliefs, more or less elaborate, but almost always of great artistic value and expressiveness. The drawings are an important source for our knowledge and understanding of the process of creation and context for Thorvaldsen's sculptural art. The book contains a thorough review of over 150 of Thorvaldsen's drawings as well as an introduction with a number of shorter sections on Thorvaldsen's use of the drawings, on his drawing style and method, the relationship between drawing and sculpture, on templates for the drawings and on how changing times have looked. Thorvaldsen's drawings. In the book, Stig Miss takes stock of the drawings' finds, use and reception and then provides both an accurate and nuanced overview of life and motifs through an extremely well-chosen selection of works. The author thus not only manages to convey a picture of Thorvaldsen as a draftsman and give us insight into the versatility of his drawing art and motifs, but he also actively selects and uses his examples to draw a portrait of Thorvaldsen as an artist and as a human being. Based on the drawings, we travel almost next to Thorvaldsen from beginning to end with the friends and colleagues, ideals, events, motifs and works that occupied him. It is a beautiful feature that elevates the descriptions of the drawings to something close to a collection of short stories, which individually and collectively creates an image of an idealistic and deeply human sculptor and artist

Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) tegnede livet igennem både på nyt, rent papir, men ligeså gerne på alt papir, der var indenfor rækkevidde (bagsiden af andre tegninger, bagsider af breve, invitationer, regninger etc.). Thorvaldsens tegninger er først og fremmest skitser til hans skulpturer og relieffer, mere eller mindre gennemarbejdede, men næsten altid af stor kunstnerisk værdi og ekspressivitet. Tegningerne er en vigtig kilde til vores viden og forståelse af tilblivelsesproces og kontekst for Thorvaldsens billedhuggerkunst. Bogen rummer en grundig gennemgang af over 150 af Thorvaldsens tegninger samt en indledning med en række kortere afsnit om Thorvaldsens brug af tegningerne, om hans tegnestil og metode, forholdet mellem tegning og skulptur, om forlæg for tegningerne og om, hvordan skiftende tider har set på Thorvaldsens tegninger. I bogen gør Stig Miss status over tegningernes fund, brug og reception og giver derefter et både præcist og nuanceret livs- og motivoverblik gennem et yderst velvalgt værkudvalg. Forfatteren formår dermed ikke blot at formidle et billede af Thorvaldsen som tegner og give os indsigt i alsidigheden i hans tegnekunst og motivkredse, men han udvælger og bruger også sine eksempler aktivt til at tegne et portræt af Thorvaldsen som kunstner og som menneske. Med udgangspunkt i tegningerne rejser vi næsten ved siden af Thorvaldsen fra først til sidst med de venner og kolleger, idealer, begivenheder, motiver og værker, der optog ham. Det er et smukt træk, der ophøjer beskrivelserne af tegningerne til noget nær en novellesamling, der hver for sig og samlet skaber et billede af en idealistisk og dybt menneskelig billedhugger og tegner
