Excellent
Very nice catalog. Classic beige canvas boards. Densely illustrated: drawings, preparatory sketches, studies, clay/plaster sketches. High quality reproductions. A near whole chapter devoted to 'Ugolino and His Sons' and it's development.A return to larger format books would serve the images best.Chapters break down as: Becoming Carpeaux, Sculptor of the Second Empire, Portraits, Religious Inspirations, The Dark Side - with many sub-chapters within each main chapter.Highly recommended.P.S.Mini James Draper led fly-on-the-sculpture film of Carpeaux's 'Le Trait D'Union' sketch; 82nd-and-fifth.metmuseum.org/healer - The other films on the site are all very worth watching.Enjoy.

If you have never heard of this artist , haven't had a chance to see an exhibit of his work or have been lucky enough to have seen his work this book is worth buying . It is eye candy, a real treat and will make you want to see these amazing sculptures.

Living Marble
Carpeaux was a genius at carving marble and making it come alive. A talent like Michelangelo, brought back to life.

A Good Book About The Sculpture Works Of Jean-Baptise Carpeaux
If I buy a book about sculpture I want to see lots of pictures of the same sculpture seen from many different views; sides and front, top and bottom and the super rare photo of the back of a sculpture. I don't buy a book just for the pictures, I want to read about the life of the sculpture and about the artist who brought that work to life. In the text I want to learn the story about the artist as a person, who they were and what it took for them to get to the point where someone thought enough to write a book about them. A good book about sculpture is one where the words and pictures work together to reveal the story to me. This book delivered.
