Giorgio Vasari's Prefaces: Art and Theory provides students and
scholars alike with the opportunity to study and understand the
art, theory, and visual culture of Giorgio Vasari and sixteenth
century Italy. For the first time all of Vasari's Prefaces from the
Lives of the Artists (1568) are included translated into English as
well as in the original Italian. Also included is an English
translation of Giovanni Battista Adriani's letter to Giorgio Vasari
enlightening Vasari on the art of the ancient masters. Through the
eyes of Vasari, this book captures the creative achievements of his
fellow artists - how they adopt nature and the classical tradition
as their muses and how they ingeniously interpret the secular and
religious themes of the past and present. Vasari himself is lauded
for the transformation of the artist from one of being a mere
laborer to one who imbues his work with intellectual depth and is
recognized as a creator of beautiful visual myths.
