For the first time all of Vasari's \u003ci\u003ePrefaces\u003c\/i\u003e from the \u003ci\u003eLives of the Artists\u003c\/i\u003e (1568) are included translated into English as well as in the original Italian. Also included is an English translation of Giovanni Battista Adriani's letter to Giorgio Vasari enlightening Vasari on the art of the ancient masters.\u003cbr\u003e Through the eyes of Vasari, this book captures the creative achievements of his fellow artists - how they adopt nature and the classical tradition as their muses and how they ingeniously interpret the secular and religious themes of the past and present. Vasari himself is lauded for the transformation of the artist from one of being a mere laborer to one who imbues his work with intellectual depth and is recognized as a creator of beautiful visual myths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liana De Girolami Cheney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433107996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433107993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 162","brand":"Liana De Girolami Cheney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123575058687,"sku":"9781433107993","price":58.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50fc1188-44f1-494c-8f16-ca15e78a0724.jpg?v=1687431657","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/giorgio-vasaris-prefaces-liana-de-girolami-cheney-9781433107993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
