Benevenuto Cellini - sculpture of a scalliwag sculptor with nameplate 'coin'

If you've never heard of this incredible character...a sculptor from Da Vinci and Michelangelo's day who got himself into incredible scrapes...he is one of the Renaissance Blues Brothers. We can guess what he looked like at this point, that is, the images of him are all over the place...but there is a recent 2020 discovered portrait which is up for sale for 103Million Euros that is purported to be his self-portrait. I'm taking 103M Euro at its word and will re-sculpt him to resemble the "new look," as the pictures I used for this were downloaded in 2015 when I first decided to do him. " Look him up. Read his autobiography...it reads best if you are fourteen.

The nameplate features his dates and an inscription in Italian - artista firenze scultor mascalglione trombone, which means Artist Florence Sculptor Scalliwag Braggart
