Book excerpt: Excerpt from Giovanni Dupre The book is by no means intended as a substitute for the Biograficlzz' of Dupre, now made accessible to English and American readers in the elegant translation of Madame Peruzzi. Indeed, I should feel well repaid for this humble tribute to the memory of an eminent Italian sculptor, at once great in his art, fascinating and instructive as a writer, and simple and pure in character, if it might lead to the more general circulation and appreciation of his own work; a Book which stands alone as the autobiography of a modern Italian artist, and may be said to have formed an era in the art literature of Italy.
