Reviews for Lives of the Painters, Sculptors and Architects

This is the book in which the Renaissance was first and most influentially anatomized. I can't recommend it strongly enough. Vasari is still the greatest art historian by a long chalk. Review by Andrew Graham-Dixon, author of 'Renaissance' (Kirkus UK)
