HIRAM
POWERS, SCULPTOR
Frances Trollope discovered the young American, part Native
American, Hiram Powers, in Cincinnati and encouraged him to sculpt
Dante's Commedia
in wax there. He later came to Florence with his family, taught
sculpture at the Accademia de Belle Arti, and won fame for his 'Greek
Slave', exhibited at the 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition, about which
Elizabeth Barrett Browning composed a powerful sonnet. His
sons became sculptors and photographers.
'America,'
not
accepted by
Congress because he showed her trampling on slave chains,
'Last of the Tribes'
Photograph, taken by Longworth Powers of his father, found in Susan
Horner's Diary, British Institute of Florence
