Abstract
THE SCHOLARLY ATTENTION that has been traditionally afforded to Italian artist Benvenuto Cellini (1500–71) eluded Barucco, his beloved and oft-mentioned dog. The sole bibliographical source at our disposal concerning Cellini’s dog is the artist’s celebrated autobiography, La vita di Benvenuto di Maestro Giovanni Cellini fiorentino scritta per lui medesimo in Firenze, composed in Florence between 1558 and 1566 and not printed until 1728.While the autobiography has been extensively studied by Cellini scholars, the episodes related to Cellini’s pet still await their scholarly due. Apart from an insightful footnote by Lorenzo Bellotto in his 1996 edition of Cellini’s Vita, there has only been silence about what function this animal with the intriguing name might have in Cellini’s life, writings, and art.
意大利艺术家本韦努托·切利尼(Benvenuto Cellini, 1500-71年)的学术地位历来受到重视,但他的爱犬巴鲁科(Barucco)却被忽视了。我们所掌握的关于切利尼的狗的唯一参考文献来源是这位艺术家著名的自传《佛罗伦萨大师乔瓦尼·切利尼的生活》(La vita di Benvenuto di Maestro Giovanni Cellini fiorentino scritta per lui medidesimo in Firenze),该书于1558年至1566年在佛罗伦萨创作,直到1728年才出版。虽然切利尼的学者们对这本自传进行了广泛的研究,但与切利尼的宠物有关的章节仍有待学术研究。除了洛伦佐·贝洛托在1996年出版的切利尼的《维塔》中有一个深刻的脚注外,对于这种有着有趣名字的动物在切利尼的生活、写作和艺术中可能发挥的作用,人们一直保持沉默。
