Spinario (Boy with Thorn)
Benedetto Boschetti, Roma
Bronze Sculpture
A large-scale and very finely modeled Grand Tour bronze sculpture. The Greco-Roman "Spinario" or the "Boy with Thorn", in the Capitoline Museum of Rome is the original that inspired this sculpture. The beautiful verdigris patina is the natural result of being outside in a garden for several decades.
Boschetti ran an important shop on the via Condotti in Rome from about 1820-1860. He won a medal at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. Works signed Boschetti rarely come to market.
Signed to the plinth:
B. Boschetti - Roma
