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 Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is the most important autobiography from Renaissance Italy and one of the most spirited and colorful from any time or place, in a translation widely recognized as the most faithful to the energy and spirit of the original. Benvenuto Cellini was both a beloved artist in sixteenth-century Florence and a passionate and temperamental man of action who was capable of brawling, theft, and murder. He counted popes, cardinals, kings, and dukes among his patrons and was the adoring friend of—as he described them—the “divine” Michelangelo and the “marvelous” Titian, but was as well known for his violent feuds. At age twenty-seven he helped defend the Castel Sant’Angelo in Rome, and his account of his imprisonment there (under a mad castellan who thought he was a bat), his escape, recapture, and confinement in “a cell of tarantulas and venomous worms” is an adventure equal to any other in fact or fiction. But it is only one in a long life lived on a grand scale. Cellini’s autobiography is not merely the record of an extraordinary life but also a dramatic and evocative account of daily life in Renaissance Italy, from its lowest taverns to its highest royal courts.

Book excerpt: Celebrated goldsmith and sculptor of the Italian Renaissance, Benvenuto Cellini (1500-71) fits the conventional image of a Renaissance man: a skillful virtuoso and courtier; an artist who worked in marble, bronze, and gold; and a writer and poet. Using the methodologies of New Historicism, social history, and gender and sexuality studies, this book places Cellini and his cultural production in the context of contemporary discourses about sexuality, law, magic, masculinity, and honor. In his life and literary oeuvre, the notorious artist, rogue, and sodomite aligned himself with the transgressive and oppositional voices of his day.

Download or read book Cellini s Perseus and Medusa and the Loggia dei Lanzi written by Christine Corretti and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benvenuto Cellini’s Perseus and Medusa, one of Renaissance Italy’s most complex sculptures, is the subject of this study, which proposes that the statue’s androgynous appearance is paradoxical. Symbolizing the male ruler overcoming a female adversary, the Perseus legitimizes patriarchal power; but the physical similarity between Cellini’s characters suggests the hero rose through female agency. Dr. Corretti argues that although not a surrogate for powerful Medici women, Cellini’s Medusa may have reminded viewers that Cosimo I de’ Medici’s power stemmed in part from maternal influence. Drawing upon a vast body of art and literature, Dr. Corretti concludes that Cellini and his contemporaries knew the Gorgon as a version of the Earth Mother, whose image is found in art for Medici women.
