DENMARK. 
The exhibition of this country in Group XXVI. was Iikewise 
meagre. Of drawings there were only submitted some speci- 
mens from the People’s Schools of Copenhagen: they consisted 
of projections applied to art-industrial objects, and of outline 
Ornaments, partly from copies and partly from casts, mostly 
from the antique. It seems as though the spirit of .Thorwaldsen 
had penetrated even into the schoolrooms ; we meet it everywhere 
in industry, and his drawings were found channingly adapted to 
Greek vases, vessels, &c., which latter are perhaps imitated 
nowhere as faithfully as in Copenhagen. The Grand-Master of 
sculpture himself was represented at the Exhibition by successful 
small copies of his works in biscuit-ware (by Jörgensen of Copen 
hagen) ; but his memory was most vividly recalled by Jerichau’s 
“Wedding of Alexander and Roxane,” in the Art Exhibition. 
Denmark owes its reflned taste in industry simply to the impulse 
given by its great artist; and it is pleasant to see how understand- 
ingly the forms are always adapted to the material. 
Brinkoff (Copenhagen), exhibited drawings of furniture, in 
charming style, the simple, noble Renaissance forms of which were 
practical witlial. Christesen’s gold and silver wäre showed the 
most reflned feeling in their rhythmical outlines.
