| | Giorgio Vasari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Giorgio Vasari (Arezzo, Tuscany July 3, 1511 - Florence, June 27, 1574) was an Italian painter and architect, mainly known for his famous biographies of Italian artists. | | | Vasari's great work was first published in 1550, and dedicated to Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici; it included a valuable treatise on the technical methods employed in the arts. | | | Vasari did not rifle archives for exact dates, as modern art historians do, and naturally his biographies are more dependable for the painters of his own generation and the preceding one. |

| | Biography |
| | Vasari wrote with a definite philosophy of art and art history. | | | As a painter, Vasari was one of the most prolific decorators of his period, but he is not now highly regarded, his work representing the most in-bred and affected kind of Mannerism. | | | Vasari's activities as painter and architect have been completely overshadowed by his role as the most important of all artistic biographers. |

| | Vasari's lesser writings, his letters and "Ragionamenti", published in 1588 after his death, and the account of the decorations he prepared for the wedding of Francesco de' Medici, are contained in the Milanesi edition. | | | Vasari was a kinsman of Luca Signorelli, and Luca's words, "Study well, little kinsman", were remembered by him all his life, although spoken when he was only a child, and when his father submitted to the old painter some drawings by the little boy. | | | At Florence, young Vasari was placed under Michelangelo, and later became a great friend of Baccio Bandinelli. |

| | Florian Harb explains in the catalogue that Vasari had close ties with both the artist and the original painting's patron, Ottaviano de'Medici and that this 'Sacra Famiglia' could be one of the copies Vasari himself records. | | | The Vasari mentioned in the exhibition's title is a copy of a well-known del Sarto painting now in the Uffizi. | | | You would travel far to see a collection of such quality in the hands of a commercial gallery and you would certainly not receive as warm and unpretentious a welcoming as offered by the Moretti gallery of Florence. |

| | While Dr. Härb states that Vasari used Michelangelo's famous statue of Pietà as a model for his painting, the poses are quite different since Christ is on the ground in Vasari's painting as opposed to resting on the Madonna's lap in Michelangelo's sculpture. | | | The figure of Christ and the Madonna's face are magnificently painted and are in very fine condition although the top part of the painting is quite dark and probably suffering from some damage over the years. | | | This museum-quality Vasari has a conservative estimate of $400,000 to $600,000. |

| | Over dinner in Rome in 1546, a certain Cardinal Farnese asked artist and architect Giorgio Vasari to assemble what came to be known as "The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects." | | | It was a a gift to art historians that still shines today. | | | Vasari knew many of his subjects personally, and his first-hand and near-first-hand account of their genius, virtues and mortal frailties has an almost journalistic feeling at times. |
