About this model

The chubby cherubs are the models for the lantern-bearing bronze figures that still flank the stairs at the Royal Palace. They were made by Jacques-Philippe Bouchardon, who had been hired in 1741 as court sculptor for the palace works. The architect Carl Hårleman had been in Paris with his pupil Carl Johan Cronstedt in 1731-1732 to recruit skilled French craftsmen for the palace works in Stockholm. These 3D scans have been produced with an Artec Eva with the ambition to produce a digital representation as close to the original as possible. However, the presented scans are not to be regarded as duplicates as due to inaccessible areas etc deviations from the original might occur.
