Opis

Excerpt from The Life of Benvenuto Cellini Wenceslas. But there is no denying that where the Italian was vulnerable was in just that foible which Balzac, In his penetrating way, hits off so well. He talked too much. He was of too impulsive a habit to make immortal statues. There was too much vehe mence about him, he used too many gestures, and it seems the most natural thing in the world that his fame should be preserved in a work of literature rather than in a work of art. The Autobiography is his best monument, better even than the Perseus. Nevertheless, it is a mistake to allow this faé't to ob scure the very interesting question of his relation to Italian art. Too often has eagerness to get at the Autobiography inclined writers to pass indifferently over Cellini's achievements as a goldsmith and sculp tor. It is true that M. Plon's book does not err in this direé'tion, and that only eight years ago Mr. C. R. Ashbee took the pains to translate Cellini's technicaltrattati, and to print his version in lux urious form. But when the Autobiography is at all to the fore it seems to abate discussion of the things for which Cellini himself had, after all, the most con cern. I think it is worth while, therefore, to speak of those things on the present occasion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
