"Almost every major American sculptor active between 1825 and 1850 visited Italy, and a majority of them settled in Florence for an extended period of time. This study will describe the artistic milieu of the Tuscan capital and, in particular, the career and art of the leading sculptor of Florence, Lorenzo Bartolini. Both Bartolini and the artistic heritage of the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance exerted a strong influence on these aspiring American sculptors, and these connections will be fully described." - Preface. ; Outstanding Dissertations in the Fine Arts; 320, [113] pages.
