The Farnese Atlas

The Farnese Atlas owes its name to the fact that it belonged to the Farnese collection in Rome, which was transferred to Naples in 1734 by Charles VII. The interest it has attracted ove the ages is mainly due to the detailed representation of the basic geometry of the geocentric cosmological model of the celestial sphere, carried by Atlas on his shoulders. This is the oldest known representation of the celestial sphere and it reflects the high level of astronomical knowledge achieved in the Hellenistic period.

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.
