Written during the sixteenth century, it presents biographies of major Italian artists including Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo. Vasari combines biography, anecdote and artistic criticism while tracing what he saw as the development of Italian art toward the achievements of the High Renaissance. Although not always historically reliable, the work remains an indispensable source for understanding Renaissance artists and their reputations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn very good overall condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Folio Vault\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFolio Vault is an independent bookseller specialising in pre-owned Folio Society books.
