(H/B) LIVES OF THE PAINTERS, SCULPTORS AND ARCHITECTS (VOLUME 2)

Παρουσίαση

Georgio Vasari (1511-1574) is the single most important figure in the history of European art criticism; his "Lives of the Painters, Sculptors and Architects" has been a founding text and an enduring touchstone for historians and critics in the four centuries since its composition. Filled with vivid biographical detail, commentary on painterly technique and acute analysis of pictures, the "Lives" also provides a dramatic historical survey of the decline in Italian painting during the Middle Ages and its rebirth in what Vasari himself called a rinascita or renaissance, thereby naming not only a historical epoch but a crucial moment in the history of human consciousness. As Kenneth Clark said, "Vasari's Lives is not only an indispensable source book, but the most vivid, entertaining and convincing picture of Italian art at its greatest period". (From the publisher)
