"This is a book for those interested in the artists of the Italian Renaissance. I have only read about one of the artists--Perugino--whose later paintings are more to my liking for this period of mostly religious work. Vasari's Lives provides a lot of interesting details of the paintings and the artist.My recommendation is to read only one chapter of an artist a month. You will need to refer to the Web sites for pictures of the paintings."

"As an art historian, I LOVE this book! Some very interesting "facts" and "histories" (using both words loosely!) that are extremely interesting. Vasari was known to exagerate and embellish, but that is part of the charm of this book. A little long winded in areas, but worth the nuggets of art history fun facts of some of the world's most famous artists."

"I finished my copy before realizing it was abridged. I was upset until I read in another art history book that he made a lot of this stuff up. It was fairly inaccurate. Still fun to read."
