The great masters : Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian by
Giorgio Vasari(
Book
)
21 editions published between 1986 and 1989 in English and held by 978 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The standard Italian edition of Vasari runs to nine volumes and covers a host of artists great and small. The Great Masters presents six of the most detailed and luminous biographies--the lives of Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Titian. With an ear for gossip, Vasari recorded for posterity the particualars of their lives while giving early expression to the world's lasting admiration for their genius. Vasari's texts are thoroughly annotated in this volume and are accompanied by a chronology that clearly relates the artists' lives to the historical events of their time. Moreover, this book is unique among publications of Vasari for its inclusion of works of art dicussed in the text. Consequently, The Great Masters lavishly reproduces most of the important works of painting, sculpture, drawing, architecture by these six artists in 120 full-color plates and 127 black-and-white illustrations,. Twenty pages of color gatefolds give appropriate scope to such works as Botticelli's Primavera and Michelangelo's frescoes for the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.--from the jacket

Pubblicate dapprima nel 1550, esse sono frutto di un lavoro di paziente ricerca durato almeno dieci anni. Il Vasari aveva infatti iniziato a raccogliere materiali, appunti e notizie riguardanti la vita e l'attività degli artisti italiani già nel 1540, quando aveva trent'anni. Iniziando da Cimabue, il Vasari racconta, analizza, commenta la vita e l'opera degli artisti italiani vissuti nell'arco di tre secoli, per giungere fino ai suoi contemporanei, senza tralasciare nessuno: dai più celebri, come Raffaello e Michelangelo, a quelli che solo pochi conoscono

A painter and architect in his own right, Giorgio Vasari (1511-74) achieved immortality for this book on the lives of his fellow Renaissance artists, first published in Florence in 1550. Although he based his work on a long tradition of biographical writing, Vasari infused these literary portraits with a decidedly modern form of critical judgment. The result is a work that remains to this day the cornerstone of art historical scholarship.<br /> Spanning the period from the thirteenth century to Vasari’s own time, the Lives opens a window on the greatest personalities of the period, including Giotto, Brunelleschi, Mantegna, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Titian. This Modern Library edition, abridged from the original text with notes drawn from earlier commentaries, as well as current research, reminds us why The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects is indispensable to any student interested in Renaissance art
