Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benvenuto Cellini started getting onto trouble at a young age. By age sixteen, he had already been exiled from his hometown for six months due to a public assault of another citizen. As a man with endless talents—sculpting, drafting, writing, music, Cellini enjoyed dabbling in many different art forms, a career that enabled him to travel to various major cities. After apprenticing for a goldsmith, Cellini moved to Rome at age nineteen. There, Pope Clement praised his work. However, Cellini’s relationship with Clement was the last time he stood in good graces with a Pope. After insulting Pope Clément’s successor, Pope Farnese, Cellini left Rome to pursue work in France, fearing that he would be arrested if he stayed. However, his travels did not protect him from the wrath of Pope Farnese. After being accused of the theft of precious Vatican items, Cellini was imprisoned. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, Cellini organizes a prison escape. Though his feud with Pope Farnese greatly complicated his life, Cellini relishes making enemies, and finds humor in every situation he is in. With stories of sexual conquests, murder, escapes, near-death experiences, and artistic endeavors, Benvenuto Cellini reveals all the salacious details of his exhilarating life. Though he exposes many ugly personality traits that he possesses, Cellini himself does not believe that he has faults, and only admits to being wrong once in his life. Despite this, Cellini possesses an influential amount of charisma, which is as evident in his written work as it was in his life. Autobiography by Benvenuto Cellini provides a privileged look into the social life of the Italian Renaissance, and preserves the memory of the incredible artistic work of Cellini, most of which has been lost to time. Because of the fascinating and atypical life Cellini led, paired with his charisma and humor, Autobiography has remained to feel exciting and relevant to a modern audience, both for entertainment and educational purposes. Now with an eye-catching cover design and printed in a readable font, Benvenuto Cellini’s Autobiography is accessible for a contemporary audience, preserving the wit and grandeur of work, while renovating it to appeal to a modern audience.

Download or read book The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini written by Benvenuto Cellini and published by Penguin Classics. This book was released on 1956 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benvenuto Cellini was a celebrated goldsmith and distinguished sculptor, yet it is on his autobiography that much of his fame rests. Begun in Florence when he was fifty-eight, it was primarily intended to be the story of his life and art, his tragedies and triumphs. However, as he was an active participant in the wars and struggles of the period and drew his friends and enemies from all levels of society, it became a vivid and convincing portrait of the manners and morals both of the rulers of the sixteenth century and of their subjects.With enviable powers of invective and an irrepressible sense of humor, reflected in an equally vigorous and extravagant style, Cellini has provided an intriguing and unrivaled glimpse into the palaces and prisons of the Italy of Michelangelo and the Medici. For this edition George Bull has revised and expanded his Introduction, added comprehensive Notes, and updated the Bibliography. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

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.
