Title: Works and lives of great masters by their contemporary
Review: "Do you admire a beautiful tower resounding with sacred sound?By my design this tower also reached for the stars.But I am Giotto, why cite such deeds?My name alone is worth a lengthy ode."[From the Live of Giotto di Bondone]Classic masterpiece containing selection of lives of famous Italian masters of art, written by their (almost) conterporary. This work is tedious and difficult to read at times (Vasari is describing at length all importatnt works of old masters). But still, this account is valuable for particular details about techniques used by old masters or condidtions under which their masterpieces were created... Kind regards, Mario.
