Giorgio Vasari - The Lives of the Artists
Giorgio Vasari - biographer, storyteller, art historian and Renaissance artist himself - was the first to write about and compile information on the life and achievements of the greatest Renaissance artists in one work.

His judgments have set the standards for what has been considered the good, the better, and the best in Renaissance art for hundreds of years. This site is a shortened, visual version of this highly-acclaimed work.
