PIETRO BEMBO
1470 -1547
Much enlarged from a photographic print of a medal in the King's Library, British Museum. This is probably the medal for which Benvenuto Cellini (1500 - 1572), in his autobiography, describes making a sketch from life in 1537. See Émile Molinier's monograph on Cellini in the series, Les Artistes Célèbres, published at Paris by the Librairie de l'Art. p. 33; and Armand's Les Médailleurs Italiens, i, 150.
