| Description | This chapter discusses several consistent themes to focus on early modern identity and subjectivity and their fashioning in visual and literary form within the differing cultures of sixteenth-century Italy and England. In Renaissance scholarship, the groups are usually implicitly gendered male, but the identity fashioned by and of the sixteenth-century female can also be effectively considered in terms of women's shared roles within society, such as the courtesan, the patrician's wife, the female religious donor, etc. The letterati exploited Michelangelo's authority as a 'civic fetish' of artistic and, especially, poetic supremacy to validate Florentine cultural identity and authority in relation to that of other Italian centres. From the analysis of collective identity, we turn to the manifestation of the subjectivity of a given individual. Considering Cellini's account of his own work, the author hypothesizes that his artistic identity depended as much on the 'skill with which he evoked' his masterpieces in texts as on the aesthetic evidence of the sculptures themselves.
