DESCRIPTION

BENVENUTO CELLINI (Florence, 1500 - Florence, 1571) / SALVADOR DALÍ (Figueres, 1904 - Figueres, 1989)
"Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini", illustrated by Salvador Dalí.
Luxury edition. Editorial Planeta.
Copy H.C.
Unique edition limited to 998 numbered copies, accompanied by life-size facsimile reproductions of the illustrations by Salvador Dalí, also numbered.
The set includes the main book, a volume of studies, a folder with plates and a DVD, presented in its original publishing slipcase.
It has a notarized certificate of certification.
Measurements: 39 × 37 cm (slipcase).

This careful bibliophile edition puts in dialogue one of the most famous autobiographical texts of the Renaissance with the graphic interpretation of Salvador Dalí, who reinterprets the figure of Benvenuto Cellini from his surrealist imaginary.

The condition of an H.C. copy, out of commerce, together with the strict limitation of the print run and the presence of a notarial certificate, reinforce its exclusive character and its interest for collectors. The quality of the reproductions, conceived in real size, and the presentation in an editorial slipcase make the set an outstanding piece within the luxury editions of the 20th century, especially valued in the field of contemporary bibliophilia.
