Requests:  0 Summary:  "Giorgio Vasari (1511{u2013}1574) was a man of many talents{u2015}a sculptor, painter, architect, writer, and scholar{u2015}but he is best known for Lives of the Artists, the classic account that singlehandedly invented the genre of artistic biography and established the canon of Italian Renaissance art. Before Vasari's extraordinary book, art was considered a technical skill rather than an intellectual pursuit, and artists were mere decorators and craftsmen. It was through Vasari's visionary writings that artists like Raphael, Leonardo, and Michelangelo came to be regarded as great masters of life as well as art, their creative genius celebrated as a divine gift. Their enduring reputations testify to Vasari's profound yet unspoken influence on western culture. An advisor to kings and pontiffs{u2015}and a confidant to Titian, Donatello, and more{u2015}Vasari enjoyed an exhilarating career amid the thrilling culture of Renaissance Italy"--Inside dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 709.2 Vasari Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 709.2 Vasari Ro Checked In Add Copy to MyList
