He worked in Denmark from 1739 until 1757 interrupted by a one and a half year period from 1746 to October 1748 when he worked at the castle in Potsdam. His first work in Denmark, a relief for a pediment and a statue at the naval headquarters at Gammelholm in Copenhagen, from 1739–40, was lost in the Great Fire of 1795. Other lost works include seven statues for Hirschholm Palace (1741) and three for Frederiksdalin Lyngby (1745). From 1742, he worked on the sculpture groups of the Marble Bridge' pavilions at Christiansborg Palace and in 1744 and 1745 he created two large statues of Neptune and Mercury at Børsen (the originals are now in the Museum of Copenhagen).
