| General note |
The Life of Benvenuto Cellini is an autobiography written by the Italian artist and sculptor, Benvenuto Cellini. The book was first published in 1558 and is considered one of the most important works of Renaissance literature. In this book, Cellini recounts his life story, from his birth in Florence in 1500 to his death in 1571. He describes his early years as an apprentice goldsmith, his travels throughout Italy and France, and his work for various powerful patrons, including Pope Clement VII and King Francis I of France. Cellini also provides detailed accounts of his personal life, including his love affairs, his imprisonment for a crime he did not commit, and his many artistic achievements, such as the creation of his famous bronze sculpture, Perseus with the Head of Medusa. Throughout the book, Cellini's vivid descriptions of his experiences and his colorful personality make for a compelling and entertaining read. The Life of Benvenuto Cellini is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the life and times of one of the most talented and controversial figures of the Renaissance.1926. An autobiography of the Florentine artist, fully illustrated with 28 pen and ink drawings and many contemporary portraits. Cellini was more of a craftsman than an artist, yet, apart from the Perseus, Nymph of Fountainebleau, Escurial Crucifix and the Viennese Salt Cellar, there are very few authentic pieces of Cellini's craftsmanship. This translation is Cellini's own account of his life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work. |
