The Lives of the Great Artists was the first truly comprehensive history of art. Originally published in 1550, it remains our greatest source of information about the explosion of artistic creativity on the 16th century Italy, the Renaissance. Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574), himself a painter and architect of renown, was a personal friend of such major figures as Michelangelo and Titan, and his accounts of the lives of his contemporaries have an authenticity and immediacy which is unique. In this selection, 40 of the greatest artists of the period are featured.
