"The historical significance of this book is huge because most experts agree that this is the first art history book produced. It has some interesting anecdotes and life stories. But it can get very repetitive because renaissance Italian art only had one subject -- religion. And I mean no disrespect, but it's chapter after chapter of descriptions of 'He painted this martyr and that saint at this and that chapel.' Most history books can be dull so this book is par for the course. If you like art history this book is a good read and I do recommend it." - Amazon Customer Reviews

  • Mô tả

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 through Giotto, Brunelleschi, and finally the titanic figures of Michaelangelo, Da Vinci, and Raphael.
