Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini International Collectors Edition Translated by John Addington Symonds Illustrated by Salvador Dali 8½ x 5½ x 1¼" 442 pages deckled page edges Subtly textured London Fleet Street binding in red Rosette and floral ornaments on spine gilt foil design missing ribbon marker 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. book in good used condition see photos Biography History Art Nonfiction Classics Italy Autobiography bookshelf display vintage home office library 📚📚📚 college student reference
