The Limited Editions Club was founded in 1929 by George Macy with the intent of publishing beautifully illustrated and designed classic literature for a relatively small number of subscribers. Much of the LEC's fame stems from its use of some of the best illustrators and artists available. Each title was uniquely designed with individualized paper and cover materials. This is an oversized or heavy book that requires additional postage for international delivery outside of Canada and the US. Benvenuto Cellini was a Florentine sculptor, goldsmith, and writer. He was one of the most important Mannerist artists and, because of the lively account of himself and his period in his autobiography, one of the most picturesque figures of the Renaissance. Signed.

UN DES 100 EXEMPLAIRES NUMÉROTÉS ÉTABLI À LA MANIÈRE D'UNE SOBRE RELIURE DE LA RENAISSANCE PAR MARIUS MICHEL Fort in-8° (253 x 193 mm) de [2] ff. - 624 pp. - [2] ff. et [57] ff. de pl., maroquin violine, dos à 4 nerfs doubles avec prolongements au filet sur les plats biseautés, encadrement d'un double filet intérieur, contreplats et gardes de peau de vélin, témoins en gouttière et en queue, couvertures et dos conservés, tranches dorées (reliure de l'époque signée MARIUS MICHEL.). Autobiographie de l'orfèvre et sculpteur florentin Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571) traduite de l'italien par Léopold Laclanché avec des notes d'Enrico Franco. L'ouvrage est illustré de 9 eaux-fortes par Frédéric Auguste Laguillermie et de reproductions in-texte (réalisées par chromolithographie à l'or, argent et bronze) des oeuvres de Cellini. Un des 100 exemplaires numérotés, ici un des 80 exemplaires sur Whatman (curieusement numéroté 3) après 20 exemplaires sur Japon. L'illustration de ces exemplaires est d'après nos recherches très hétérogène, et ne semble pas correspondre à l'annonce de mise en vente, reprise par Vicaire, qui signale des exemplaires sur Japon avec 3 suites et des exemplaires sur Whatman avec 2 (les états et papiers ne sont pas précisés). Le présent exemplaire est enrichi de trois états du portrait de l'auteur (avant toute lettre sur Japon fort, sur Japon et sur vergé), pour les 8 autres hors-texte de deux états (sur Japon fort avant toute lettre et sur Japon avec signature à la pointe), et pour les 15 bandeaux et culs de lampe de deux états (en noir sur Chine appliqué sur Chine, et reproduit par la chromolithographie à l'or, argent et bronze sur Japon fort). Absence du tirage sur Chine, non relié, pour un cul-de-lampe (livre deuxième) et un bandeau (livre septième). L'exemplaire comporte également un tirage sur Chine appliqué sur Chine de la vignette du dos de la couverture. Soit 48 illustrations ajoutées. Le présent exemplaire contiendrait donc la suite des hors-texte et des vignettes avant toute lettre sur Japon, seules premières épreuves, dont il n'aurait été tiré que 50 exemplaires pour M. Conquet. D'un caractère impétueux qui lui valut le surnom de maledetto fiorentino (maudit florentin), Cellini suscita autant l'admiration (il eut pour protecteurs Clément VII, Paul III et François Ier) que l'animosité de ses commanditaires et confrères. Dans ce récit, composé entre 1558 et 1567, le fiorentino brosse une peinture de l'Europe de la Renaissance tout en revenant sur les épisodes les plus rocambolesques de sa vie : exil de Florence, défense du Château de Saint-Ange lors du Sac de Rome, emprisonnement, évasion, meurtre d'un rival. Nombre des pièces réalisées par Cellini sont aujourd'hui perdues. Il laisse cependant plusieurs sculptures emblématiques de la Renaissance artistique tel que le Persée de bronze de la Loggia dei Lanzi à Florence, ainsi que quelques travaux d'orfèvrerie, dont la salière « Neptune et Cybèle » réalisée pour François Ier, conservée au Kunsthistorisches Museum de Vienne. Frédéric Auguste Laguillermie (Paris : 1841-1934), élève de Flameng et de Bouguereau, débute au Salon de 1863. Fondateur de la Société artistique des aquafortistes français, il grave d'après Antonello de Messine, Velasquez, Ribera et d'après les maîtres modernes. Comme peintre, il réalise surtout des portraits. Ses voyages d'études le mènent à Madrid, Rome, ou encore Athènes. Il obtient le prix de Rome en 1866. Exemplaire bien établi par Marius-Michel (Henri-François-Victor Marius Michel, 1846-1925). En 1876, Marius-Michel ouvre avec son père, le doreur Jean Michel (dit lui aussi Marius-Michel !) un atelier de reliure au 15 rue du Four (Paris). Lauréat du Grand Prix de l'Exposition Universelle 1900, chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur, Marius-Michel est principalement connu pour ses reliures à décor. Il publia notamment La reliure française depuis l'invention de l'imprimerie (1881) et L'ornementation de la reliure moderne (1889). La présente trad.

Florentine sculptor, famous for his work as a goldsmith and for his autobiography. Written between 1558 and 1562 and first published in 1730, it is one of the most celebrated autobiographies in history. It gives and intimate and lively picture of the life of the times and of the author's vivid and arrogant personality. Goethe was so fascinated by it that he translated it into German. Cellini was a pupil of Michelangelo and for a time was attached to the court of Francis I of France, for whom he made his best known piece, a gold salt cellar.

The Limited Editions Club signed limited edition of this autobiographical account by the Italian Renaissance sculptor, goldsmith, and writer Benvenuto Cellini. Quarto, bound in full modern morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe / Zaehnsdorf with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, gilt ruling to the front and rear panels, all edges gilt, gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, with black and white illustrations.

Translated from the Italian and edited by John Addington Symonds. Introduction by Thomas Craven. Illustrated by Fritz Kredel. The Life of Benvenuto Cellini is a remarkable Renaissance autobiography that offers an unvarnished, highly personal account of the life and mindset of one of Italyâs most talented and tempestuous artists. Written in Italian between 1558 and 1566, Celliniâs narrative presents himself as a fiercely independent sculptor and goldsmith whose artistic genius is matched by his volatile temperament and defiant individuality. Through detailed descriptions of his works, travels, and interactions with powerful patronsâ"including popes, kings, and dukesâ"Cellini constructs an image of the artist as both heroic and self-sufficient, embodying the Renaissance ideal of creative autonomy.

Condition: Near Fine. Signed Limited Edition. First edition thus, limited issue, #786 of 1000 copies. Signed and dated by the illustrator Salvador Dali on the limitation page at front. [iv], 442, [1] pp, illustrated with color plates and full page line drawings. Bound in publisher's blue buckram stamped in gilt and blocked in black on the spine, top edge gilt; lacking the slipcase. Near Fine with light toning covers and contents, trivial mottling to rear cover. Binding square and strong, plates clean and bright. The Renaissance sculptor and master goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini is known as much for his Autobiography as for his art. Self-aggrandizing and partly invented, the memoir is a well-written and highly entertaining addition to the Western canon. Both Cellini's artwork and his posthumously published autobiography influenced the Surrealist artist Salvador Dali, who more than matched the Renaissance man in bravado, famously writing in his own autobiography: "Every morning upon awakening I experience supreme pleasure: that of being Salvador Dali, and I ask myself, wonderstruck, what prodigious thing will he do today, this Salvador Dali.".
