X showed his talent for drawing at an early age, using his father’s tailor’s chalk to sketch portraits of his family on the floors and walls of the family home. At the age of 13, he was apprenticed in a Parisporcelain factory where he painted designs on china. Soonimprovements in porcelain technology made hand-paintinguneconomical and X spent another year or two paintingdesigns on fans, lampshades, and window blinds. At the age of21, he decided he would study art more seriously and enrolledin the Ecole des Beaux-Arts (the Paris College of Fine Arts).

QUESTION 9.

X was born to a family that had for several generations belongedto minor nobility in Florence but had, by the time the artist wasborn, lost its patrimony and status. Nevertheless, it wassomething of a downward social step to become an artist, and Xbecame an apprentice relatively late, at 13, perhaps afterovercoming his father’s objections. He was apprenticed to thecity’s most prominent painter, Domenico Ghirlandaio, for a three-year term, but he left after one year, having nothing more tolearn.

Obviously talented, he was taken under the wing of theruler of the city, Lorenzo de’ Medici, known as the Magnificent.This good fortune gave him access not only to leading poets andintellectuals but to the Medici art Collection. Florence at thattime was home for many prominent painters like LEONARDO DAVINCI and his teacher ANDREA DEL VERROCCHIO.
