Spinario
The exhibition begins with a careful and close look at the bronze statue on display in the Hall of the Triumphs, added to the Capitoline collection in 1471 as part of Sixtus IV's donation of the Lateran bronzes.
The small bronze statue, depicting a boy in the act of pulling a thorn out of his foot, was added to the Capitoline collection in 1471 as part of Sixtus IV's donation of the Lateran bronzes to the People of Rome, represents one of the greatest masterpieces of ancient sculpture. The exhibition at the Capitoline Museums aims to present a broad view of the "Boy with Thorn" theme and its success, bringing together ancient and modern replicas and reinterpretations exposed in the most important Italian and foreign museums. On display bronzes, drawings and paintings inspired by the Spinario, showing the success it has achieved over the years.
