Benvenuto Cellini, born in Florence on November 3, 1500 and died there on February 13, 1571, was an important representative of Mannerism, an artistic movement in the late Renaissance. As an Italian goldsmith and sculptor, he left his lasting influence on the history of art. In this regard, he is considered one of the greatest sculptors of post-antiquity and represents the "uomo universale" of the Italian Renaissance, characterized by versatility in various fields.
His father, Giovanni Cellini, was a master builder and musician who worked in the service of the Medici, a powerful Italian family of the time. Cellini grew up in an artistic environment where his father also made musical instruments. He was originally intended to follow in his father's musical footsteps, but at the age of 14 he decided to become a goldsmith. He began his apprenticeship with Michelangelo da Viviano, the father of his future arch-rival Baccio Bandinelli, before moving to the workshop of Antonio di Sandro.
Cellini was a controversial figure. His autobiography reveals that he committed murder three times. Despite his dark past, he was highly regarded as an artist and worked in a variety of roles, including goldsmith, sculptor, medalist, writer and musician.
Cellini's work, which includes some of the finest sculpture and jewelry of the Renaissance, was all but forgotten after his death and rediscovered only in the 19th century. His artistic career, which took place both in Florence and Rome, was marked by his work for important figures such as the popes and the Medici family.
Probably his most famous sculpture is the "Perseus with the Head of Medusa", which is exhibited in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence. This work, which took eight years and was repeatedly plagued by difficulties, is considered his masterpiece and fortified his reputation as one of the leading sculptors of his time.
In his later years, Cellini switched to the clerical state and took the tonsure in 1558. Despite this change, he remained contentious and often got into legal disputes. He died in Florence in 1571, but his legacy lives on in his impressive works and fascinating autobiography.
