{"product_id":"lives-of-the-artists-isbn-9780140444605","title":"Lives of the Artists","description":"In his Lives of the Artists of the Italian Renaissance, Vasari demonstrated a literary talent that outshone even his outstanding abilities as a painter and architect. Through character sketches and anecdotes he depicts Piero di Cosimo shut away in his derelict house, living only to paint; Giulio Romano's startling painting of Jove striking down the giants; and his friend Francesco Salviati, whose biography also tells us much about Vasari's own early career. Vasari's original and soaring vision plus his acute aesthetic judgements have made him one of the most influential art historians of all time.Introduction\u003cbr\u003eThe Lives:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNicola and Giovanni Pisano\u003cbr\u003eDuccio di Buoninsegna\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLuca della Robbia\u003cbr\u003eMichelozzo Michelozzi\u003cbr\u003eAndrea del Castagno and Domenico Veneziano\u003cbr\u003eJacopo, Giovanni, and Gentile Bellini\u003cbr\u003eAntonio and Piero Pollaiuolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePiero di Cosimo\u003cbr\u003eFra Bartolommeo of San Marco\u003cbr\u003eAndrea del Sarto\u003cbr\u003eGiovanni Battista Rosso\u003cbr\u003eFrancesco Mazzuoli (Parmigianino)\u003cbr\u003eJacopo Palma and Lorenzo Lotto\u003cbr\u003eGiulio Romano\u003cbr\u003eJacopo Pontormo\u003cbr\u003eFrancesco Salviati\u003cbr\u003eJacopo Sansovino\u003cbr\u003eNotes on the Artists\u003cbr\u003eFurther ReadingGiorgio Vasari (1511-74) was an accomplished painter and architect, but it is for his illuminating biographies of artists that he is best remembered.
