Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors and Architects, Vol. 09 (of 10)
Michelagnolo to the Flemings
Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors and Architects, first published in 1550 and expanded in 1568, is the founding work of art history, and this ninth volume of Gaston du C. de Vere's English translation contains some of its most important pages. It opens with Vasari's long life of Michelangelo, his friend and hero, written from personal knowledge and following the artist's work from his youth to the Medici chapel, the Sistine ceiling, the Last Judgment and St. Peter's. It continues with Primaticcio and his work at Fontainebleau, Titian, Jacopo Sansovino, Leone Leoni and others. Vasari's mixture of anecdote, description and judgment still makes lively reading. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
