Lives of the Artists

Giorgio Vasari

Art History / Biography

The 16th-century foundation of art history: Vasari's gossipy, opinionated biographies of Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and dozens of others told by a contemporary who knew many of them. Graham put it on his RAQ history list — it is the original record of craft transmitted person to person, exactly the kind of lineage he cares about.
