 P. P. CAPRONI and BROTHER Catalogs
Florentine master craftsman Pietro Caproni
practiced the art of creating quality reproductions. During the last two
decades of the 19th century, he traveled through Europe making molds
directly from masterpieces in museums such as the Louvre, the National
Museum in Athens, the Vatican, the Uffizi Gallery, and the British Museum.
Considered the greatest craftsman of his time, Caproni was one of the last
to be allowed the freedom of casting directly from museum pieces.
