Description
This adaptation of Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Painters, Sculptors and Architects (1568) focuses on the three giants of Italian Renaissance art - Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Raphael. Described as the 'first important book in art history', Vasari's account takes a biographical form, peppered with entertaining anecdotes and observations on art theory. This hardback edition is illustrated with gorgeous full colour images and has its own beautifully decorated slipcase.
