The "Thorn Shooter" (in Italian "Spinario") is a sculpture from the Hellenistic period dating from the 1st century BC. AD In Italy, there are several copies, one of which - probably the oldest - is on display in the Capitoline Museums in Rome.
The Thiébaut Frères foundry was one of the most important art foundries in France in the 19th century.
Their achievements are visible around the world.
