Summary

"Lives of the Most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects, Vol. 08 (of 10)" by Giorgio Vasari is a journey back to the Renaissance, exploring the lives and legacies of remarkable artists like Bastiano da San Gallo and others who shaped the art world. Beginning with Bastiano, known as Aristotile, the book shows his path from student to master, fueled by his respect for Michelangelo and his drive to conquer drawing and perspective, going into his creations, friendships, projects and other accomplishments. Each artist's story gives an insight into their creative methods, inspirations, and famous works, reflecting the artistic spirit and cultural environment of their time.

About the Author

Giorgio Vasari was an Italian Renaissance painter, architect, art historian and biographer, who is best known for his work Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, considered the ideological foundation of all art-historical writing, and still much cited in modern biographies of the many Italian Renaissance artists he covers, including Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, although he is now regarded as including many factual errors, especially when covering artists from before he was born.
