Download or read book Vasari and the Renaissance Print written by Sharon Gregory. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In both Vasari's life and in his Lives, prints played important roles. This volume examines Giorgio Vasari's interest, as an art historian and as an artist, in engravings and woodblock prints, revealing how it sheds light on aspects of Vasari's career, and on aspects of sixteenth-century artistic culture and artistic practice. It is the first book to study his interest in prints from this dual perspective.
