Alexey Djivelegov's book is dedicated to Cinquecento, the Italian XVI century, when Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian, Tintoretto and dozens of other great masters worked in the Apennines. But Jivelegov's book is not about artists, although it says a lot about them, but about a special category of people of intellectual labor that originated in the crucible of the Renaissance-the intelligentsia, its "dark debuts", as the author puts it. In the center of the story are three typical figures: Baldessare Castiglione-the author of the "Courtier", the most famous work of Cinquecento, Pietro Aretino, nicknamed for his pamphlets "the scourge of princes", and the brilliant sculptor Benvenuto Cellini. Witty, vain, bold, and made of contradictions-true sons of a time in which each was for himself-they lived with a sense of unfreedom, tried to preserve their own face as best they could, and zealously served their patrons.Alexey Djivelegov (1875-1952) - historian, Doctor of Art History, specialist in the history of Western European culture.
