The guy who sculpted pic related, Benvenuto Cellini, wrote an autobiography and it's great. He's a total egomaniac whose life was pissing off his royal patrons, assaulting/killing people, and fleeing for his life over and over. His critiques of other sculptors are hilarious too. It's a toss-up between him and Salvador Dalí for most entertaining autobiography I've ever read. You can read it here.
