A FABULOUS CORRESPONDENCE WITH A FASCINATING HISTORY FROM THIS EARLY AMERICAN ARTIST.
Thomas Ball was an American sculptor and musician, whose work has had a marked influence on monumental art in the United States, especially in New England. He was born in Charleston, Massachusetts and in his early years worked at the New England Museum, where he became an apprentice to the museum wood carver. He was also an accomplished musician from his teenage years, both as a vocalist and violinist. His professional career as a sculptor began in his early 30's. His work sold well and commissions began coming in. He maintained studios in Boston until 1865, when he moved to Florence, Italy and became a member of an artistic colony there. He remained in Florence until 1897 then returned to the United States. He maintained a studio in New York City for the remainder of his career.nn
