Bøker av Giorgio Vasari

For many people the greatest artist, and the quintessentialRenaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci wasa painter, architect, theatre designer, engineer, sculptor,anatomist, geometer, naturalist, poet and musician.

The most exhilarating painter of the Renaissance and arguablyof the whole of western art, Tintoretto was known as Il Furiosobecause of the attack and energy of his style.

Titian was recognised very early on as the leading painter of his generation in Venice. Starting in the studio of the aged Giovanni Bellini, Titian, with his contemporary Giorgione, almost immediately started to expand the range of what was possible in painting.

A new translation of Vasari's life story of Da Vinci from Martin Kemp and Lucy Russell. Originally written in sixteenth century Italian, with Vasari a near-contemporary of his subject.

A painter and architect in his own right, Giorgio Vasari (1511-74) achieved immortality for this book on the lives of his fellow Renaissance artists, first published in Florence in 1550. Although he based his work on a long tradition of biographical writing, Vasari infused these literary portraits with a decidedly modern form of critical judgment. The result is a work that remains to this day the cornerstone of art historical scholarship. Spanning the period from the thirteenth century to Vasari’s own time, the Lives opens a window on the greatest personalities of the period, including Giotto, Brunelleschi, Mantegna, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Titian. This Modern Library edition, abridged from the original text with notes drawn from earlier commentaries, as well as current research, reminds us why The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects is indispensable to any student interested in Renaissance art.

Michelangelo Buonarrotti (1475-1564) is perhaps the greatest artist in the entire Western tradition. In painting, sculpture and architecture he created works that went beyond anything imagined before. This book draws a picture of Michelangelo - the man and the artist. It features 45 pages of colour illustrations covering his achievement, and more.

Scion of an artistic dynasty, Giovanni Bellini is arguablythe greatest Venetian painter of the early Renaissance. Hisastonishing naturalism revolutionised altarpiece painting andis still a source of wonder, as any visit to Frari in Venice willconfirm.

The three most important early biographies of Veronese, one never before translated, edited by Xavier F. Salomon, curator of 'Veronese: Renaissance Magnificence' at the National Gallery, London.

One of the principal resources for study of Italian Renaissance art and artists, Vasari's Lives offers colorful, detailed portraits of the era's most representative figures. This single-volume edition spotlights 8 prominent artists.

Beginning with Cimabue and Giotto in the thirteenth century, Vasari traces the development of Italian art across three centuries to the golden epoch of Leonardo and Michelangelo. Great men, and their immortal works, are brought vividly to life, as Vasari depicts the young Giotto scratching his first drawings on stone; Donatello gazing at Brunelleschi's crucifix; and Michelangelo's painstaking work on the Sistine Chapel, harassed by the impatient Pope Julius II. The Lives also convey much about Vasari himself and his outstanding abilities as a critic inspired by his passion for art.
