Vasaris Lives of the Painters, Sculptors, and Architects are and always have been central texts for the study of the Italian Renaissance. They can and should be read in many ways. Since their publication in the midsixteenth century, they have been a source of both information and pleasure. Their immediacy after more than four hundred years is a measure of Vasaris success. He wished the artists of his day, himself included, to be famous. He made the association of artistry and genius, of renaissance and the arts so familiar that they now seem inevitable. In this book Patricia Rubin argues that both the inevitability and the immediacy should be questioned. To read Vasari without historical perspective results in a limited and distorted view of The Lives.Rubin shows that Vasari had distinct ideas about the nature of his task as a biographer, about the importance of interpretation, judgment, and example about the historians art. Vasaris principles and practices as a writer are examined here, as are their sources in Vasaris experiences as an artist.

The content of the Giorgio Vasari art and history book is fascinating, but I do feel like it could be a bit more affordable. The illustrations are gorgeous and it’s a fantastic reference, but I wish it weren't so pricey. Still worth having in my library!

Not What I Expected
I was excited to receive the Giorgio Vasari book, but the format was smaller than I imagined. Some images appear a bit washed out too. I appreciate the content, but it didn’t meet my expectations in terms of physical quality.

Lovely Book for Artists
I bought this Giorgio Vasari book for my brother who's an aspiring artist. He loves it! The art history perspective is incredibly valuable, plus the quality of the print is top-notch. Just wish the delivery had been a little faster.
