Giorgio Vasari : the man and the bookBoase, Thomas Sherrer RossVasari’s Lives of the Most Excellent Architects, Painters, and Sculptors, first published in 1550, fixed for three hundred years general European views about the art of the Renaissance, and its ... influence still lingers today. While much has been written about Vasari’s writings, comparatively few full-length studies have dealt with the man himself. In this book, T.S.R. Boase offers a compelling account of Vasari’s life and career. At the same time, Boase explores Vasari’s ideas about the art and artists he described in the two editions of his Lives, placing these reflections in their contemporary context and later developments in art history and criticism. The result is an important appraisal of Vasari’s achievement, which despite its imperfections is without parallel in the history of Western art.Type of material - book ; adult, seriousEdition - New pbk. printing 2023Publication and manufacture - Princeton (N.J.) ; Guildford : Princeton University Press, 2023Language - englishISBN - 978-0-691-25221-6COBISS.SI-ID - 191286787
