Reference excerpt

The Statue of Anders Sandøe Ørsted is located in Ørstedsparken in Copenhagen, Denmark. Anders Sandøe Ørsted was Denmark's leading jurist of the mid-19th century. He served as Prime Minister of Denmark in 1853–54.

Description

The monument consists of a bronze sculpture standing on a granite plinth and measures 375 cm × 232 cm × 313 cm (12.30 ft × 7.61 ft × 10.27 ft). Ørsted is depicted as an ancient wise man, sitting on a klismos and wearing a toga. He is shown in a moment of quiet contemplation, resting his left arm on the back of the chair and his chin against his hand. Under the chair stands a casket with scrolls. The casket is decorated with a relief depicting the scene where "Memesis reads the deeds of man aloud to Jupiter" ("Nemesis oplæser menneskenes gerninger for Jupiter").

History

The statue was originally commissioned from Herman Wilhelm Bissen at the initiative of the art historian Niels Laurits Høyen. Bissen created a small statuette in 1835–36 and the original plaster model in 1836–37. The plan was to raise 6,000 Danish rigsdaler for a marble statue but Ørsted's strong political views resulted in dwindling popularity. Orla Lehmann wrote to Høyen that Ørsted wasn't a statesman but "the servant of a Fürst". In 1842, Høyen made a new attempt to raise the money but Ørsted that same year went up against Peter Hiort Lorenzen who had spoken Danish at the stænderforsamling in Slesvig. This prompted Høyen to call off the fund-raising campaign. Bissen, who was known for his temper, was outraged. In about 1852, he was supposedly about the destroy the model but was stopped by force by a group of his students. Bissen died in 1868 and thus never got to see the statue completed. Vilhelm Bissen his son and student, continued his father's studio. He sold his father's Ørsted plaster model to Carl Jacobsen in 1882. In 1885, Jacobsen also commissioned a marble copy from him. The outdoor monument was commissioned in connection with the 10th Nordic Jurist Meeting and financed through donations from Danish and Norwegian jurists. The bronze statue was based on Bissen Jr.'s 1885 marble copy and cast in Lauritz Rasmussen's Bronze Foundry. It was unveiled during the conference on 27 August 1902.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Statue of Anders Sandøe Ørsted

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Statue of Anders Sandøe Ørsted claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Statue of Anders Sandøe Ørsted before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Statue of Anders Sandøe Ørsted ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Statue of Anders Sandøe Ørsted

In research: Statue of Anders Sandøe Ørsted appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Statue of Anders Sandøe Ørsted in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Statue of Anders Sandøe Ørsted is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1837 sculptures, 1902 establishments in Denmark, Bronze sculptures in Copenhagen, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Statue of Anders Sandøe Ørsted outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
