Vasari's Lives of the Artists by Giorgio Vasari
Vasari's colorful and detailed portraits of the most representative figures of Italian art trace the flowering of the Renaissance across three centuries. This single-volume edition of selections from Vasari's immense work profiles 8 of the book's most noteworthy artists and includes an introduction, notes, and glossary; and woodcut portraits of each artist by Vasari himself.Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574), a painter, architect, and Medici confidante, was a key proponent of the late Renaissance style known as Mannerism, which was highly influenced by Michelangelo. The Lives of the Most Brilliant Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, first published in 1550, is probably his abiding masterpiece.
