This edition of 'The Lives' by Giorgio Vasari, published by Ediciones Cátedra in 2019, is a selection of biographies of the most prominent artists of the Italian Renaissance. Vasari, a historian and artist of the Cinquecento, offers a detailed and critical account of the lives and works of architects, painters, and sculptors from Cimabue to his contemporaries. The edition includes commentaries that complement the original texts, providing a chronological and iconographic context for each artist, as well as a vision of Vasari's own art.
Giorgio Vasari was an Italian Renaissance painter, architect, art historian, and biographer known for his work Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, considered the ideological foundation of Western art-historical writing, and still much cited in modern biographies of the many Italian Renaissance artists he covers, including Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, although he is since regarded as including many factual errors, especially when covering artists from before he was born.
