Cellini's death wasn't weird itself, but the situations surrounding his death were. Cellini was one of the biggest assholes in art in literature. He was a murderer, and a serial rapist (of both men and women, some of whom were his own students), but the Medicis liked him so much that he never faced any real consequences. His last incident was with a male student whom he'd forced to act as his wife for five years which ended when he was 65ish. At 71 he died peacefully and was celebrated across the country.

Looking at that picture I just realized how unusual it is to see a portrait of that time period with the subject's arms crossed.
