Read:
About two centuries ago, a ten-year-old boy entered the house of a man some thirty years older. He enters without knocking. The owner of the house is called Antônio. The boy is called Manuel.
Antonio is busy carving a figure in the cedar. Around him there are sculptures in soapstone, others in wood, paper with scratches and drawings. Some objects are ready, others in progress. He receives many orders for images, statues. He is a sculptor, architect, designer. He is a handsome, elegant man. He affectionately receives the boy, whom he has known since he was a little boy, as he is his father's friend. […]
Manuel is stunned. This always happens to him when he goes to Mestre Antônio's house, becoming enchanted by the works he sees, touches, admires. He often leaves Mariana and goes to Vila Rica to see the master working from afar, not only at home, but in churches and elsewhere. […]
