Vasari s Lives of the Artists Giorgio Vasari Translated by Mrs. Jonathan Foster Edited by Marilyn Aronberg Lavin An instant success upon publication in the mid-sixteenth century, Giorgio Vasari s Lives of the Artists remains one of the principal resources for study of the art and artists of the Italian Renaissance. Regarded by many as the most influential book on the history of art ever written, the Lives traces the flowering of Italian painting and sculpture over the course of three centuries through colorful and detailed portraits of its most representative figures. This new anthology features eight of the most notable artists from Vasari s immense work: Giotto, Masaccio, Fra Filippo Lippi, Botticelli, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Titian. Also included are an introduction, notes, glossary, and woodcut portraits of each artist by Vasari himself.

3 The Renaissance Studies in Art and Poetry Walter Pater One of the most-talked-about books of the nineteenth century, The Renaissance combines scholarship and philosophy in an innovative work of cultural criticism. Published in 1837, Walter Pater s graceful essays discuss the achievements of Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and other artists. Pater concluded his book with an uncompromising advocacy of hedonism, urging readers to experience life as fully as possible. His cry of art for art s sake became the manifesto of the Aesthetic Movement, and his assessments of Renaissance art have influenced generations of readers.
