Biography:
Born in Florence, Benvenuto Cellini began training as a goldsmith at the age of thirteen. He worked with a several artists, studied sculpture, and began working on large sculptural projects. Cellini’s reputation was founded on his work in Fontainebleu, France where his sculptures were created with the most ambition. He worked for famous patrons such as the Roman popes, the Medici family of Florence, and King Francois I of France. Despite his established position, Cellini’s life was marred by many run-ins with the law for sodomy, theft, and murder. Late in his life and after several imprisonments, he began writing his autobiography and several treatises on sculpture and goldsmithing.
