About this book
Thoughts on Art and Autobiographical Memoirs of Giovanni Duprè is translated from the Italian by E. M. Peruzzi, with an introduction by W. W. Story. The introduction says the book contains the record of the life and thoughts upon Art of Giovanni Duprè, one of the most eminent sculptors of the present century in Italy. The introduction says the author wrote the book from time to time, during the latter years of his life, in the intervals of work in his studio.
The memoirs say the writer was born on the 1st of March 1817, in Via San Salvadore, in the Contrada dell'Onda, and lived in Siena until he was four years old. The writer says his family removed to Florence, where his father went, at the request of the wood-carver Signor Paolo Sani, to help him with some intaglio decorations in the Palazzo Borghese. The writer describes a mosaic pavement that represented a race of animals, hares and dogs, on a yellow ground. The writer says he made proposals to give his time, work, and study gratis et amore Dei, and that these offers were not accepted.
