SPINARIO BOY WITH THORN From our Bronze Sculpture collection, we are pleased to offer this Italian Bronze Figure of Spinario also known as Boy with Thorn and Fedele. The Bronze sculpture is beautifully cast raised upon a black marble base with white specs modelled as The Boy With The Thorn after the antique. The figure depicts a boy with long draped hair seated trying to pick a thorn from his foot. The figure would have been available to purchase by young scholars during their partake in the grand tour around Europe. The Italian Bronze Figure of Spinario, the boy with thorn dates to the second half to the 19th century circa 1870. SPINARIO – BOY WITH THORN is a story originally cast as the Roman bronze statue known as Fedele, or Spinario. The statue portrays a young boy sitting and concentrating on removing a thorn from his foot. This imagery has resonated with audiences for centuries and has been interpreted in various ways depending on the context in which it is presented. The statue is thought to have been created in the Hellenistic or Roman period, symbolising naturalism and human introspection.

Antique, New and Vintage Figurative Sculptures

Figurative sculpture is a modern art form in which artists create work that is typically representative of the visible world. However, sculptures that are considered to be figurative in style can definitely be inclusive of abstract elements. A wide range of antique, new and vintage figurative sculptures has been made over the years by both well-known and emerging artists, and these pieces can prove striking and provocative as part of your home decor.

Realistic representation in visual art has a very long history. And while figurative artists, whether figurative painters or sculptors, find inspiration in humans, animals and real-life objects, good figurative sculptures can make us think differently about how the real world should look. Just as figurative paintings might include Photorealistic human likenesses, they can also include elements of Surrealism and can suggest a creative and alternative reality. Figurative sculptures aren’t always realistic impressions of our world — depictions of the human form in classical Greek sculpture, for example, might emphasize beauty and physical perfection.

There are a variety of figurative sculptures on 1stDibs created by artists working in a number of styles, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, mid-century modern and more. A large figurative sculpture can introduce an excellent focal point in a guest bedroom, while smaller works might draw the eye to spaces such as wall shelving or a bookcase that people may otherwise overlook.

When decorating your living room, dining room, home office and study areas with figurative sculptures, don’t be afraid to choose bold colors to inject brightness into neutral spaces. Texture is another factor to consider when purchasing figurative sculptures. A highly textural work of ceramics or wood will catch the eye in a sleek modern space, whereas a smooth, flat glass sculpture can offer an often much-needed contrast in a room that already has many textures.

On 1stDibs, find antique, new or vintage figurative sculpture or other kinds of sculpture for your home decor today.
