Lives of the most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects, Vol. 06 (of 10)
"Lives of the most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects, Vol. 06 (of 10)" by Giorgio Vasari is a series of artist biographies first published in 1550. This groundbreaking work established art history as a genre, chronicling the lives and techniques of Renaissance masters through biographical sketches interspersed with gossip and memorable anecdotes. Though criticized for favoring Florentine artists and occasionally mixing fact with legend, Vasari's vivid portraits of creative genius remain influential,
offering intimate glimpses into the world of Italian Renaissance art and the personalities who shaped it. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
