X CELLINI'S name
evokes thoughts of
chased silver salt cellars
candlesticks and vases,
gold medals and medal
lions. But in addition to
his marvellous proclivities
as a worker in finer
metals, Cellini has justly
earned his fame as a
sculptor Of larger forms
in. less precious materials.
His bronze statue of Per-
seus holding the head Of
Medusa, now in the Log
gia del Lonzi, Florence, is
one of the most typical
and unforgetable monr
ments of the Renaissance,
full of the fire of genius
and the grandeur of a ter
rible beauty.
Just as Cellini's name be-
longs in any representa-.
tive list of great scuip-
tors, so the name of
Swartzell, Rheem & Hen.
