Ce sont ces bohémiens qui l'ont adopté lorsque tout enfant il s'est enfui de la maison paternelle pour aller vers le pays de l'art, ce sont eux qui l'ont conduit en Italie, c'est à eux qu'il doit la première vision des chefs-d'œuvre de tous genres sous le ciel lumineux de Florence."

Suite of four pieces, one of the best known and most sought after of Callot's work. The master has treated admirably a subject dear to his heart as an artist. It was these bohemians who adopted him when he ran away from his father's house as a child to go to the land of art, they were the ones who took him to Italy, it was to them that he owes the first viewing of masterpieces of all genres under the luminous skies of Florence].
