Resting Goat

The Caprone appears with his front legs outstretched, the head slightly pointing to the left and the curly mantle with locks intricately falling on its face. This majestic and extremely well-executed goat has been attributed to the hand of Bernini thanks to the attentive research conducted by 600’s restorers.
The sculpture was built during the Imperial age, it was probably thought of as a decoration of an important Roman palace. The imponent statue was bought by the collector Marchese Vincenzo Giustiniani who in the end decided to exhibit the piece at the famous Gallery of Palazzo Giustiniani. The pieces of that gallery were soon incorporated with the Torlonia collection becoming one big collection.
The fact that it became part of Giustiniani collection, provides strong evidence that this might have been sculpted by Bernini. Gian Lorenzo Bernini would in fact often restore and work with marble artworks hosted in the gallery.

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.
