About this title: 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.

"Vasari, a painter and architect himself, was also the first italian art historian with this book, spanning the lives of renaissance masters from the 13th-16th centuries. He is biased to Florentine and other Italians, and fabricates threads throughout the book with little attention to exact dates. It should be supplemented with modern research, but his gossipy quips are undoubtedly entertaining."
