Call me a philistine because I hadn’t even heard of Giovanni Duprè before I came across your post. Thanks for enlightening me!
Giovanni Duprè is a recent discovery of mine.
So no mate, you are not a philistine. Having been a student of Art, I wasn’t aware of Giovanni Duprè, until a year or so ago.
I might have come across his work in Paris museums, without even being aware of it.
