Reimagining Thorvaldsen: Render study in light, texture, and atmosphere

This render is part of a personal project inspired by the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen, a space that has always fascinated me for its bold use of color, sculptural presence, and the way natural light defines every surface.

Rather than aiming for a flashy composition, I wanted to explore how atmosphere can emerge from subtle contrasts, between materials, tones, and stillness. No artificial lighting here, just daylight doing its quiet work.

It’s meant to be a study/training but also to showcase one of my favorite museums !

Would love to hear your thoughts and comments on this incredible space and how it tried to match how it feels !
