Lives of the most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects, Vol. 10 (of 10)
"Lives of the most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects, Vol. 10 (of 10)" by Giorgio Vasari is a series of artist biographies written in the 16th century. Considered the first important book on art history, Vasari's work chronicles the lives of Renaissance painters, sculptors, and architects through engaging biographical sketches. Published in two editions—1550 and 1568—the collection blends factual accounts with colorful anecdotes and gossip, creating an influential yet controversial portrait of
Italian Renaissance art that favored Florentine achievements while overlooking other regions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
