"Jason with the Golden Fleece" is a neoclassical sculpture created by the Danish-Icelandic sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844). This work is considered one of Thorvaldsen's masterpieces and a significant contribution to the neoclassical art movement that sought to revive the classical ideals of beauty and purity from ancient Greece and Rome. The sculpture depicts the mythological hero Jason, who was famous for leading the Argonauts in a quest to retrieve the Golden Fleece, a symbol of authority and kingship.

Thorvaldsen began work on the sculpture in 1802 and completed the full-size plaster model in 1803 while he was residing in Rome, which was then a center for artists seeking to study the classical antiquities. The sculpture was commissioned by Thomas Hope, a wealthy British art collector, who was impressed by the original plaster model. The final marble version was completed in 1828 and became a defining work in Thorvaldsen's career, showcasing his ability to capture the grace and idealized forms characteristic of classical sculpture.

"Jason with the Golden Fleece" stands out for its dynamic composition and the lifelike rendering of Jason's physique, draped with the finely sculpted fleece. The hero is depicted at the moment of triumph, having just obtained the fleece, yet his pose suggests a calm and reflective demeanor, embodying the neoclassical virtues of restraint and harmony. The work's influence extended beyond its immediate artistic impact, contributing to the broader cultural fascination with classical mythology and reinforcing the ideals of the neoclassical movement in the arts.

The sculpture is now housed in the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, which is dedicated to the artist's life and works. "Jason with the Golden Fleece" remains a celebrated example of Thorvaldsen's legacy and a testament to the enduring appeal of classical mythology in Western art.
