This piece was sculpted after a poem by Samuel Lover. The poem is about an ancient Irish belief stating that when a child smiles in his sleep it’s because he is talking to an angel.
The sculptor passionate of Neoclassicism and close friend with John Gibson. From this artist, one of the greatest at the time, Spence borrowed technique of smoothly sculpting bodies and the great use of light. The details do not miss in this piece and are especially accentuated in the angel’s hair and crown of flowers.
I make the figures with marble, a resistant material, which allows the figure to be exposed even outdoors and look even more beautiful over the years.
The statue helps people calm down, not impatient, not hasty. It reminds us there are many difficulties and sadness outside but if we just think about all the goodness, just smile and you will feel the life much easier.
Our figures are made by hand using high quality natural marble stone therefor each piece is unique and may slightly be different in shape and color.
