Born in Florence in 1500 Cellini was a celebrated sculptor goldsmith and writer as well as one of the most picturesque figures of the Renaissance. Trained as a goldsmith and early proficient in that craft at 16 he had to leave Florence because of a street fight and spent some months in Siena. In 1519 he moved to Rome the center of his activity for the next two decades. In Rome Cellini served popes Clement VII and Paul III working chiefly on portrait medallions coins and jewels. By his own account Cellini was a notable fighter and in the sack of Rome 1527 he fought against the imperial troops. An increasingly tense relationship with Paul III and a series of violent incidents led to Cellini's imprisonment in the Castel Sant'Angelo from which he made a dramatic escape. Cellini spent the years 1540-1545 in France serving Francis I as sculptor decorator and designer of architectural projects for the royal château of Fontainebleau. In 1543 he completed the famous and elaborate Salt Cellar from a model prepared earlier for Cardinal Ippolito d'Este. Cellini made models for a series of 12 silver statues of gods and goddesses and executed two bronze busts and silver vases all now lost. He cast the bronze lunette of the Nymph of Fontainebleau 1545. Works of art such as these as well as Cellini's actual presence in France along with other artists working under the enthusiastic patronage of Francis I played an important part in forming the style of French art in the late 16th century and helped to create an international courtly style favored throughout Europe in this period.
