This book was released on 2021-04-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1512 and 1570, Florence underwent dramatic political transformations. As citizens jockeyed for prominence, portraits became an essential means not only of recording a likeness but also of conveying a sitter’s character, social position, and cultural ambitions. This fascinating book explores the ways that painters (including Jacopo Pontormo, Agnolo Bronzino, and Francesco Salviati), sculptors (such as Benvenuto Cellini), and artists in other media endowed their works with an erudite and self-consciously stylish character that made Florentine portraiture distinctive. The Medici family had ruled Florence without interruption between 1434 and 1494. Following their return to power in 1512, Cosimo I de’ Medici, who became the second Duke of Florence in 1537, demonstrated a particularly shrewd ability to wield culture as a political tool in order to transform Florence into a dynastic duchy and give Florentine art the central position it has held ever since. Featuring more than ninety remarkable paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and medals, this volume is written by a team of leading international authors and presents a sweeping, penetrating exploration of a crucial and vibrant period in Italian art.

Download or read book Cellini written by Sir John Wyndham Pope-Hennessy and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1985 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author of one of the most celebrated autobiographies ever written, Benvenuto Cellini has been the fabled subject of opera, drama, fiction, and poetry. Famed--and self-proclaimed--as a genius, warrior, murderer, as well as a seducer of men and women, Cellini was above all an intense and dedicated artist-craftsman. His was by every measure a major life. Yet, with much of his artistic production lost and the facts of his biography colored by centuries of romantic myth, to study this enigmatic man is a daunting task. This is the first significant monograph to appear on the artist in over one hundred years. In it, Sir John Pope-Hennessy endeavors to "correlate a body of works of art with the human personality by which they were produced." Whereas our knowledge of most artists derives from their works, we know more about Cellini than any other individual of his age. Thanks to his autobiography and to the extraordinary wealth of material contained in the Ricordi and other sources, his habits, his manner of speech, the very fiber of his being, are all fully reconstructable, and he may be apprehended as a man, not simply as an artist. --jacket.

Download or read book The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini written by Benvenuto Cellini and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2004-06-24 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benvenuto Cellini was a celebrated Renaissance sculptor and goldsmith - a passionate craftsman who was admired and resented by the most powerful political and artistic personalities in sixteenth-century Florence, Rome and Paris. He was also a murderer and a braggart, a shameless adventurer who at different times experienced both papal persecution and imprisonment, and the adulation of the royal court. Inn-keepers and prostitutes, kings and cardinals, artists and soldiers rub shoulders in the pages of his notorious autobiography: a vivid portrait of the manners and morals of both the rulers of the day and of their subjects. Written with supreme powers of invective and an irrepressible sense of humour, this is an unrivalled glimpse into the palaces and prisons of the Italy of Michelangelo and the Medici.
