Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Benvenuto Cellini, Vol. 2: Written by Himself As soon as we arrived, I set to without delay, and managed to lay my hands on a silver basin which I had begun for the Cardinal before I was in prison. Along with the basin, I had been working on a very beautiful little pitcher but this had been stolen along with a great number of other valuable things. I set Fagolo to work on the basin, while I took up the jug again. The ornament on it consisted of figures in the round and low reliefs. The basin was in like style, having figures in high, and fishes in low relief; and so rich was it, and so exquisitely contrived, that all who saw it were astounded both by the vigour and fancy of the design, and by the precision of the young men's work. The Cardinal used to come at least twice a day to see me; and with him came Messer Luigi Alamanni and Messer Gabriel Cesano and many a pleasant hour did we spend thus together. Notwithstanding that I had a deal of work in hand, he thrust new commissions upon me, one of these being an order for the pontifical seal, which was to be as large as a twelve-year-old boy's hand. On it I traced in intaglio two designs. One represented St. John preaching in the wilderness, the other St. Ambrogio pursuing the Arians. The saint was on horseback, and had a whip in his hand. So vigorously was it designed, and so precisely was it carried out, that everybody said I had surpassed the great Lautizio, who stood alone in this branch of art. The Cardinal took great pride in it, and was always comparing it with the other Cardinals' seals in Rome, which were mostly from the hand of this Lautizio.

Download or read book The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini written by Benvenuto Cellini and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published between 1909 and 1917 under the name "Harvard Classics," this stupendous 51-volume set-a collection of the greatest writings from literature, philosophy, history, and mythology-was assembled by American academic CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT (1834-1926), Harvard University's longest-serving president. Also known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it represented Eliot's belief that a basic liberal education could be gleaned by reading from an anthology of works that could fit on five feet of bookshelf. Volume XXXI is considered one of the greatest autobiographies ever written, by Italian BENVENUTO CELLINI (1500-1571). Literally a Renaissance man, making a name for himself as an artist, soldier, and musician-his works are still readily found all over European museums and public places-he is perhaps most famous for his life story. Highly readable and hugely entertaining, it is replete with tales of illicit romance, murder, angelic visions, his own poisoning, and many other salacious affairs.

Book excerpt: Volume two of a two volume set Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571) was one of the enigmatic, larger-than-life figures of the Italian Renaissance: a celebrated sculptor, goldsmith, author and soldier, but also a hooligan and even avenging killer. Cellini produced several of his most celebrated works at Fontainebleau and Paris, including a salt cellar (now in the museum at Vienna) and large silver statues (subsequently lost) of Jupiter, Vulcan and Mars. Characteristically, Cellini became embroiled in disputes with those around him and in 1545 he returned at last to his native Florence, where he remained until his death in 1571. At Florence Cellini created one of the most celebrated works of his long career and one of the notable monuments of the Italian Renaissance, the bronze figure Perseus holding the Head of Medusa. Other acclaimed statuary of the period include Ganymede on the Eagle and a bust of Cosimo I de Medici, both now in the Bargello Museum in Florence. Much of Cellini's notoriety, and perhaps even fame, derives from his memoirs, begun in 1558 and abandoned in 1562. As noted in the introduction, "His amours and hatreds, his passions and delights, his love of the sumptuous and the exquisite in art, his self-applause and self-assertion, make this one of the most singular and fascinating books in existence."This book was edited by John Addington Symonds (1840-1893), one of the foremost men of letters of his time. He was a preeminent Victorian poet, critic, and historian. He is renowned for his reviews, essays, translations, art histories, and poetry. Symonds joined the rarified ranks of John Ruskin and Walter Pater as a major arbiter of Victorian taste. His books Renaissance in Italy and Life of Michaelangelo are landmarks of 19th-century literary scholasticism.
Download or read book Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini written by Benvenuto Cellini and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 326 pages. 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.
