This monument, created by Rudolph Tegner in 1899, stands tall as a tribute to the artist's mother and her final resting place. At a young age, Tegner was deeply influenced by Michelangelo's masterpieces, and this is evident in his sculpture's unfinished, rough texture, which gives it a fresh, contemporary look while paying homage to traditional graveyard monument styles. As a prominent Danish sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement, Rudolph Tegner (1873 – 1950) made waves in early 20th-century Denmark with his provocative work that sparked intense debate and discussion among art enthusiasts and critics alike.
