Danish sculpture

Equestrian bronze statue of King Frederik V created in Neoclassical style by Jacques Saly in 1768

  • A very nice article overall; it more than meets the length and recency requirements, it's well-written and well-laid out. AGF on the Danish-language sources but at first sight they seem OK. I'm not sure the hook is really compelling though, so I'll suggest another alternative for your consideration below. Prioryman (talk) 13:32, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
  • ALT2 ... that the development of Danish sculpture was greatly influenced by a statue (pictured) of King Frederick V designed by Jacques Saly, a Frenchman?
  • Sounds good but not historically correct as its was Saly's presidency at the Academy which caused the change. I would therefore suggest, along the same lines: - Ipigott (talk) 15:48, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
  • 16px ALT3 looks fine to me. I'm happy to sign off the article as good to go on that basis. Prioryman (talk) 19:40, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
