This is part of a classic mini-series (six titles in all), bringing together the best-known writings of renowned artists, critics and interpreters of cultural traditions. Each book provides insights not only into the worlds of the arts and cultural history, but also into the creative and intellectual preoccupations of its author and his time. A masterful piece of autobiography (and the only autobiography of a Renaissance artist) The Life of Benvenuto Cellini provides vivid descriptions of life at the papal court in Rome and of the Royal Court in France, as well as giving an eyewitness account of the sack of Rome in 1527. The artist also writes about his career as a Renaissance sculptor and goldsmith, and his views of contemporaries, including Michelangelo. (Kirkus UK)
