Johannes Ewald and Johan Hermann Wessel Memorial

The Johannes Ewald and Johan Hermann Wessel Memorial is located next to the Round Tower and Trinitatis Church, just off Købmagergade, in central Copenhagen, Denmark.

Johannes Ewald and Johan Herman Wessel were two of the leading Danish poets of the 18th century.

Trinitatis Church was originally surrounded by a cemetery where Ewald and Wessel were buried.

The monument consists of a relatively small bronze sculpture of two winged putti on a large sandstone pedestal designed in the style of an antique sarcofague.

The face of the pedestal features two bronze medallion with portraits of the two poets in relief and their names inscribed below in carved lettering.
