Søren Kierkegaard, Bronze memorial statue in Royal Library Garden, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The bronze sculpture depicts Søren Kierkegaard seated in a chair, writing with a quill pen while surrounded by books at his feet.
Louis Hasselriis created the original statuette between 1878 and 1879, which Carl Aarsleff and H.P. Petersen-Dan enlarged and cast in bronze during 1918.
The statue stands as a representation of Danish intellectual heritage, marking the contributions of Kierkegaard to existentialist philosophy and modern thought.
The memorial statue occupies a designated space within the Royal Library Garden, accessible through the main gates during regular opening hours.
The sculptor incorporated specific details from Kierkegaard's writing posture, based on contemporary descriptions of the philosopher at work.
