While much has been written about Vasari's writings, comparatively few full-length studies have dealt with the man himself. In this book, T.S.R. Boase offers a compelling account of Vasari's life and career. At the same time, Boase explores Vasari's ideas about the art and artists he described in the two editions of his \u003ci\u003eLives\u003c\/i\u003e, placing these reflections in their contemporary context and later developments in art history and criticism. The result is an important appraisal of Vasari's achievement, which despite its imperfections is without parallel in the history of Western art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Sherrer Ross Boase\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691252211\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691252216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Thomas Sherrer Ross Boase","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46927752200447,"sku":"9780691252216","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d257d77-b11e-4757-a07a-f431dc4b4286.jpg?v=1749372854","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/giorgio-vasari-thomas-sherrer-ross-boase-9780691252216","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
