Lives of the Most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects, Vol. 03 (of 10)
Filarete and Simone to Mantegna
Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists, first published in 1550 and enlarged in 1568, is the founding work of art history. This third volume of Gaston du C. de Vere's English translation covers artists of the fifteenth century, among them Piero della Francesca, Fra Angelico, Leon Battista Alberti, Antonello da Messina, Fra Filippo Lippi, Andrea del Castagno, Gentile da Fabriano and Pisanello, Benozzo Gozzoli, Desiderio da Settignano, Verrocchio and Andrea Mantegna, as well as Vasari's own great-grandfather Lazzaro. Vasari mixes judgments on style with anecdote and gossip, some of it unreliable, and the volume is illustrated with plates of the works he discusses. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
