Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is the first part of the author's memoirs covering his younger life from childhood to his early career as an artist and illustrator. Growing up in a small town in the 1840s, the author had to overcome many obstacles on his path to becoming an artist including illness, prejudice, and poverty. Nonetheless, the author's passion for art, particularly for painting, spurred him on. Through the support of friends, mentors, and perseverance, the author became a successful artist notable for both his landscapes and history paintings that often focused on both epic and everyday scenes from Italian life. His work captured the attention of many notable figures including King Ludwig II of Bavaria. However, the author's life took a dramatic turn when he lost vision in his right eye. This devastating turn of events forced him to completely rethink his artistic direction and, after experimenting with photography, he turned to writing.
