The Life of Benvenuto Cellini by John Pope-Hennessy

In this masterful autobiography Cellini describes court life, his career as a Renaissance sculptor and goldsmith, and his views of his contemporaries, including Michelangelo.

"Mini-triumphs of contemporary design.. The words contained within these gem-like covers are lapidary as well."—Times Literary Supplement
