Product Description

1926. An autobiography of the Florentine artist, fully illustrated with 28 pen and ink drawings and many contemporary portraits. Cellini was more of a craftsman than an artist, yet, apart from the Perseus, Nymph of Fountainebleau, Escurial Crucifix and the Viennese Salt Cellar, there are very few authentic pieces of Cellini's craftsmanship. This translation is Cellini's own account of his life.

This review is from: The Life of Cellini (Paperback)

One of the first and yet one of the greatest autobiographies of all time. Any celebrity or would be celebrity thinking of dashing off a quick "life" or apologia pro vita sua could do worse than start by reading or re-reading this fantastically intense and life-enhancing book

5.0 out of 5 stars Autobiography as an art, Nov 1 2010

By Chris Albert Wells "Chris Albert Wells, Autho... - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Life of Cellini (Paperback)

A wonderful introduction to the Renaissance ambiance where everybody had to struggle for life, where artists and their protectors were no saints. Cellini recounts a conflicting world that produced masterpieces, essentially his own.
