The Lives of the Artists -- Giorgio Vasari - Paperback
These biographies of the great quattrocento artists have long been considered among the most important of contemporary sources on Italian Renaissance art. Vasari, who invented the term Renaissance, was the first to outline the influential theory of Renaissance art that traces a progression

Fully annotated and with a brand new package, Lives of the Artists is an invaluable classic to add to your collection.
