Cellini, Benvenuto (1500-1571) Vita de Benvenuto Cellini, First edition & Pirated edition: Two Copies. Cologne [i.e., Naples]: Pietro Martello [i.e., Berenstadt, 1728]. First edition, quarto, title printed in red and black; bound in full contemporary parchment; both boards tooled in gilt with heraldic arms of Guasco Gallarati; color printed decorative floral endleaves; old sealing wax inside front board; 9 3/4 x 7 in. [Together with] a copy of the later bootlegged edition, with the same misleading imprint, but printed circa 1792; large quarto, cartonnage binding of the period, edges untrimmed; 10 1/2 x 7 1/4 in. (2) "Benvenuto Cellini was a celebrated Renaissance sculptor and goldsmith - a passionate craftsman who was admired and resented by the most powerful political and artistic personalities in sixteenth-century Florence, Rome and Paris. He was also a murderer and a braggart, a shameless adventurer who at different times experienced both papal persecution and imprisonment, and the adulation of the royal court. Innkeepers and prostitutes, kings and cardinals, artists and soldiers rub shoulders in the pages of his notorious autobiography: a vivid portrait of the manners and morals of both the rulers of the day and of their subjects. Written with supreme powers of invective and an irrepressible sense of humour, this is an unrivalled glimpse into the palaces and prisons of the Italy of Michelangelo and the Medici." (Quoted from the Penguin Classics synopsis.)

Paar museale französische Tischleuchter in Bronze
Est: €20,000 - €30,000
Höhe: 53 cm. Sockelweite: 19 cm. Frankreich, Nachfolge des 16. Jahrhunderts. Eleganter, mehrstufiger manieristischer Aufbau in fein gearbeiteter, dunkel patinierter Bronze. Stilistisch ist die Gestaltung – wie schon die Bronzekunst der Zeit des 16. Jahrhunderts in Frankreich – von dem berühmten Florentiner Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1557) beeinflusst. Cellini begab sich erstmals 1535 nach Frankreich. Für Franz I schuf er die „Saliera“, das weltbekannte goldene Salzfass, das sich heut in Wien befindet. Cellinis Stil, der bereits manieristische Züge trägt, hat in Frankreich lange nachgewirkt. Die Gesamtform verjüngt sich in einzelnen Stufen, die jeweils figürlich besetzt sind. Der große dreiseitige Sockel auf Füßen in Form bärtiger Silensköpfe mit Widderhörnern, darüber sitzen gebeugt kauernde bocksfüßige Panfiguren. Die Füße verbunden durch Blattfestons mit Muscheln. Die Wandungen, leicht konkav einschwingend, sind mit perlstabgerahmten Feldern besetzt, in die weitere gehörnte Faunmasken im Relief eingefügt sind. Die folgende Stufe wird aus drei geflügelten Löwenprotomen gebildet, die eine runde Basis tragen. Darauf drei S-förmig geschweifte Spangen. Diese wiederum schwingen zu einer nochmals verjüngten Basis hoch, besetzt mit geflügelten Greifenfiguren mit Löwentatzen. Letztlich zieht ein hochoval geformter Balusterschaft, umgeben von Akanthusblättern zur betont geweiteten Tropfschale hoch. Der Kerzendorn setzt kegelförmig breit an. Der Entwurf und die künstlerische Ausführung von höchster Qualität, in Kaltarbeit nachziseliert. Der Stil weist auf wenige bekannte oder erhaltene Werke der französischen Hochrenaissance unter dem Einfluss des Manierismus. Im Gegensatz zu italienischen Bronzearbeiten dieser Stilepoche sind die französischen Arbeiten weit graziler und feinteiliger gestaltet. Dunkle Patina, tadellose Erhaltung. (1381712) (11) A pair of French bronze candelabra Height: 53 cm. Base width: 19 cm. France, following of the 16th century. Elegant multi-tiered mannerist structure in finely crafted bronze with dark patina. Stylistically, the design – like the bronze art of the 16th century in France – was influenced by the famous Florentine Benvenuto Cellini (1500 – 1571). The design and artistic execution are of the highest quality, re-chased in cold work. The style points to few known or surviving works of the French High Renaissance under the influence of Mannerism. In contrast to Italian bronze works from this period, the French works are far more delicate and designed more finely. Dark patina, in excellent condition.

Ohne das gestochene Frontispiz. 27 x 21,5 cm. Pergament d. Z. (geringfügig beschabt). "Colonia" (d. i. Neapel), Pietro Martello, (1728). -- Cicognara 2231 (irrig: "Florenz 1730"). Graesse II, 90. Schlosser 320f. und 334. Gambe di Basso 283. – Erster Druck der ersten von Antonio Cocchi besorgten Ausgabe, von der 1792 in Florenz ein Nachdruck erschien, hier mit dem 19-zeiligen Titelblatt, das Wort "appartenenti" abgeteilt zwischen Zeile 6 und 7. Mehrfach übersetzt, u. a. von Goethe ins Deutsche (1803). "Die Selbstschilderung Benvenuto Cellinis, geschrieben oder vielmehr, was recht bezeichnend ist, einem jungen Garzone während der Arbeit in die Feder diktiert (zwischen 1558 und 1566) und erst im 18. Jahrhundert durch den Druck zugänglich gemacht, ist nun freilich ein völlig einzig dastehendes Denkmal auch innerhalb der nationalen Literatur ... Ihre Bedeutung reicht weit über das enge Fachgebiet, dessen Bezirk wir hier durchwandeln, hinaus, sie ist eine menschliche Urkunde ersten Ranges ... Daß sie reichsten Stoff für die Geschichte des Mannes und seine Zeit enthält, liegt auf der Hand, ebenso aber auch, daß dieser Stoff, bei der gewaltsamen und phantastischen Natur seines Urhebers höchst persönlich, subjektiv gefärbt, wahr nur im höheren, Goetheschen Sinne ist und die Behutsamkeit des Historikers auf harte Proben stellt. Aber als künstlerisches Charakterbild, auch im weiteren Sinne dieser mächtig gärenden und häufig recht absurd sich gebärenden Periode des Manierismus ist sie unschätzbar" (Schlosser). – Wie auch fast alle Vergleichsexemplare ohne das gestochene Portrait-Frontispiz.

Provenance: Sotheby's, May 28, 1986, lot 45; Sotheby's New York, December 17, 1992, lot 49. CELLINI TO HIS BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AND WOULD BE ASSASSIN. In part II, chapters CII-CX of the Vita, Cellini describes his dealings with "a certain rascal from Vecchio called Piermaria d'Anterigoli and surnamed Lo Sbietta" and "his brother Ser Filippo," which entailed the purchase of a farm from the brothers for the term of his natural life, their subsequent attempt to poison Cellini at a dinner, and, after Cellini's unlikely survival, their failure to honor the terms of the sale and the ensuing arbitration. Cellini complains bitterly of his treatment by the brothers, laments the loss of several pieces of business as well as a year of his life spent recovering, but ends the account by noting that nevertheless "in the December of 1566 following, I made another blunder. I bought half of the farm Del Poggio from them, or rather from Sbietta, for two hundred crowns ... I did this for the best; but I should have to dilate too long upon the topic were I to enter into all the rascalities they practiced on me. Therefore, I refer my cause entirely to God, knowing that He hath ever defended me from those who sought to do me mischief" (Vita part II, CX). The present, heated letter to Filippo regards the completion of this latter transaction. Cellini informs Filippo that a reply to his most recent inquiry has already been sent, demands the return of a sum of money, and threatens to expose the brothers' rascality. Letters in the hand of Cellini are very rare on the market, with only the present example and one other recorded in the auction records of ABPC and RareBookHub in the last fifty years.

Cellini, Benvenuto: Vita di Benvenuto Cellini (EA)
Est: €1,000 - €1,500
Cellini, Benvenuto. Vita di Benvenuto Cellini orefice e scultore fiorentino, da lui medesimo scritta, nella quale molte coriose particocalrità si toccano appartenenti alle arti ed all' istoria del suo tempo, tratta da un' ottimo manoscritto. 8 Bl., 318 S. Ohne das gestochene Frontispiz. 27 x 21,5 cm. Pergament d. Z. (geringfügig beschabt). "Colonia" (d. i. Neapel), Pietro Martello, (1728). Cicognara 2231 (irrig: "Florenz 1730"). Graesse II, 90. Schlosser 320f. und 334. Gambe di Basso 283. – Erster Druck der ersten von Antonio Cocchi besorgten Ausgabe, von der 1792 in Florenz ein Nachdruck erschien (siehe Los 1462), hier mit dem 19zeiligen Titelblatt, das Wort "appartenenti" abgeteilt zwischen Zeile 6 und 7. Mehrfach übersetzt, u. a. von Goethe ins Deutsche (1803). "Die Selbstschilderung Benvenuto Cellinis, geschrieben oder vielmehr, was recht bezeichnend ist, einem jungen Garzone während der Arbeit in die Feder diktiert (zwischen 1558 und 1566) und erst im 18. Jahrhundert durch den Druck zugänglich gemacht, ist nun freilich ein völlig einzig dastehendes Denkmal auch innerhalb der nationalen Literatur ... Ihre Bedeutung reicht weit über das enge Fachgebiet, dessen Bezirk wir hier durchwandeln, hinaus, sie ist eine menschliche Urkunde ersten Ranges ... Daß sie reichsten Stoff für die Geschichte des Mannes und seine Zeit enthält, liegt auf der Hand, ebenso aber auch, daß dieser Stoff, bei der gewaltsamen und phantastischen Natur seines Urhebers höchst persönlich, subjektiv gefärbt, wahr nur im höheren, Goetheschen Sinne ist und die Behutsamkeit des Historikers auf harte Proben stellt. Aber als künstlerisches Charakterbild, auch im weiteren Sinne dieser mächtig gärenden und häufig recht absurd sich gebärenden Periode des Manierismus ist sie unschätzbar" (Schlosser). – Wie auch fast alle Vergleichsexemplare ohne das gestochene Portrait-Frontispiz. Durchgehend etwas gebräunt bzw. fleckig.
