Vasari, Lives of the Most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects Vol. 9
The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (Italian: Le vite de’ più eccellenti pittori, scultori, e architettori), also known as The Lives (Italian: Le Vite), is a series of artist biographies written by 16th-century Italian painter and architect Giorgio Vasari, which is considered “perhaps the most famous, and even today the most-read work of the older literature of art”, “some of the Italian Renaissance’s most influential writing on art”, and “the first important book on art history”. The title is often abridged to just the Vite or the Lives.
It was first published in two editions with substantial differences between them; the first in 1550 and the second in 1568 (which is the one usually translated and referred to). One important change was the increased attention paid to Venetian art in the second edition, even though Vasari has still been criticised ever since for an excessive emphasis on the art of his native Florence.
