The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, edited by Charles J. Finger, is a first-person account of the life and times of the 16th-century Italian artist and goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini. The book is a classic of Renaissance literature, offering a fascinating glimpse into the political and cultural milieu of the period. Cellini's autobiography is a lively and engaging narrative that covers a wide range of topics, including his early life as an apprentice, his travels throughout Italy and France, his work for various patrons, and his involvement in the wars and political intrigues of the time. Along the way, he offers vivid descriptions of the art and architecture of the period, as well as insights into the personalities and motivations of the people around him. The book is also notable for its frankness and candor. Cellini is not shy about recounting his own flaws and shortcomings, including his violent temper, his sexual exploits, and his tendency to get into trouble with the law. At the same time, he is proud of his accomplishments as an artist and craftsman, and he is not afraid to boast about his successes and talents. Overall, The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini is a rich and rewarding read for anyone interested in Renaissance art and culture, as well as for those who enjoy a good story of adventure and self-discovery.This is a new release of the original 1923 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
