This 3D printed statue is a replica of the Shepherd Boy Statue inspired by the renowned Danish sculptor Thorvaldsen. Thorvaldsen, known for his works inspired by biblical and mythological themes, crafted the Shepherd Boy with a style deeply rooted in antiquity, reminiscent of mythological figures like Ganymede. The Shepherd Boy Statue stands out as one of Thorvaldsen's works not directly tied to literary sources, yet exuding a classical aura that places it in the realm of mythological storytelling. The sculpture's style evokes a timeless sense of classicism, drawing parallels to the mythological narrative of Ganymede, the shepherd boy taken to Olympus by Jupiter's eagle.
This replica captures the essence of Thorvaldsen's classicism and mythological inspiration, making it a captivating piece for collectors and enthusiasts of ancient art and mythology. This product is crafted using high-quality PLA with a 3D printer, then meticulously hand-painted and varnished to perfection. The item you will receive is exactly as shown in the photo. To ensure a smooth and flawless finish, each piece undergoes several steps after 3D printing.
Initially, we carefully sand the object to eliminate any rough surfaces. Next, we apply a primer to prepare it for painting. The piece is then hand-painted with great attention to detail, and finally, we varnish it to ensure the paint remains vibrant and long-lasting.
Our products are lightweight due to the 3D printing process. The weight may be surprising when held, as it cannot be accurately judged by appearance alone. Generally, they weigh under 500 grams.
Despite their lightness, our 3D printed items are more durable and resistant to impact.
