From the Paper:

"Hiram Powers was born in 1805 and died in 1873. He was born in Woodstock, Vermont, USA and spent his childhood in Cincinnati. In 1837 he moved to Florence, Italy and this is where he spent the rest of his life and created his most famous sculpture, "The Greek Slave", a 65 inch marble statue which now stands in the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven. The earliest and most significant influence on Powers' work was Horatio Greenough (1805-52) one of the first Americans sculptors to settle in Florence. Greenough has studied with Bartonlini who would also become a strong influence in Powers' life."
