Focus on Bertel Thorvaldsen with the Statue of Hope and explore the New York bronze sculpture.
A bronze copy of the sculpture was in the 1890s presented to New York City by Americans of Danish descent. The bronze cast was created in Copenhagen in 1892. The monument was unveiled at a site just north of 59th Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues.  Some time later it was moved to a site near 97th Street (near Fifth Avenue) . In 1940, it was once again repositioned in connection with the construction of the 97th street transverse. In 1996 the Central Park Conservancy undertook a renovation of the monument. The plinth features Thorvaldsen's reliefs of Day and Night.
