On a medallion Benvenuto

[George]

A friend collector of "found" a copy of a work by Benvenuto Cellini, a copper medallion ... A copy was in "deplorable" condition by itself ... but initially at galvanirovanii not "worked" many important Samples ... someone tried to fix the "hole" Seal ...
Of course, the medallion was no "signature" Cellini. Typically Florentine master this genius 16 th century, almost never signed their works (such a plan).
The restoration of masterpieces-great fun! Especially: Cellini, because of the special manner of singing, rhythm and beauty lines, execution of each character and the whole "round" songs! Benvenuto perform such medallions in wax (judging by his famous literary biography).
Collector, despite the familiarity and trust, and wished to receive a medallion in wax clay, and has himself run molding or galvanirovanie (hozyain-Barin!).
This post for lovers of art Benvennuto! (Thank you in advance for information on the storage location of the original!)

And where the original?

For sure, it's a good question. By analogy (... from the other "field"):
child from the home want to adopt, review, asking: "Where are your parents?". Suppose, an orphan born not from "degradantov, we assume that he (she) healthy impulses to survive and become a man. What is an orphan answer? "My fantasy," an orphan can give no fewer than nine responses. How many answers can give this orphan, I do not know. Orphans can boldly answer (and what they have to lose? "), Which, they say, Behold, I am all in front of you, I brought up this orphanage, if you like me, take me and love me!
Restorer clear (for "nose and mouth"), who "Papa" "copper disabled" ...
"Nothing," he says, "freaks", "If Karl of the logs made of wooden boy, the masterpieces of Benvenuto and in copies of masterpieces"!
At the end of his post as the restorer is also interested in the original location!

Restorers clear ... someone "Dad" "copper disabled» ...

In the restorer has experience with the works of Benvenuto Cellini? Where he saw them and held in their hands?
After all, he created works of jewelry remained little: salt-cellar of Francis I (1540-1543, Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum), a few coins and medals made for Pope Clement VII and Alessandro de 'Medici, as well as sketches of decorative buckles for the vestments of Clement VII.
Everything.

I have the experience of the restorer of works of Benvenuto Cellini? Where he saw them and held in their hands?

Restorer himself has long wanted to move to a city for a better view of himself, and review other-for example, in the town of Ravello (restorer been there and even worked a little with one there the restorer, and penetrated Italic spirit, to see (again) that restorers everywhere - people often peculiar, sometimes sweet - people).
Hold in their hands ... or put a masterpiece of 16 th century near the headboard, the next morning just to see the beauty ... but you know, not all masterpieces of the "give" or "share" their inner and outer beauty, no, not all ... right now I "work" - silver medallion-portrait of Peter Rastrelli ... oh, oh ... and this is a copy ... oh-oh, and in what condition! Collector-burnt down, found it in "after pozharischnom cultural layer", with relish poured liquid fire valiant firefighters dug looked, cried (a fool right say someone:-it's just a copy of "How would you durachina, sobbing whether it is the original!). And I felt so sorry for the collector! As I was to deny the old man (he is 76) ... His posture, the state, the words are still living in me: «George, please correct Petrusha!" Medallion was wrapped in linen, is embedded in the ashanovsky "Christmas package ... As I had him say? "The old man, before doing something, I compare: I brought you the original or a copy?" A "old" so carefully unwrapped "her burden, and so gently ran his hand through the charred surface, ran his finger along the crack-medal of the burst Temperature ...
So, I'm such a "black, with a wound Rastrellivskuyu work" in the headboard is not set, but that is a masterpiece (as well as the reduced version here) - is clear to me. And the "old" I "Petrusha, of course, are corrected.
