For the first time all of Vasari's \u003ci\u003ePrefaces\u003c\/i\u003e from the \u003ci\u003eLives of the Artists\u003c\/i\u003e (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.\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiana De Girolami Cheney, Professor of Art History and Chairperson of the Department of Cultural Studies at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, is author and coauthor of numerous books and articles, including, \u003ci\u003eBotticelli's Neoplatonic Images\u003c\/i\u003e (1983); \u003ci\u003eThe Religious Architecture of Lowell\u003c\/i\u003e (1984); \u003ci\u003eThe Paintings of the Casa Vasari\u003c\/i\u003e (1985); \u003ci\u003eWhistler and His Birthplace, Lowell\u003c\/i\u003e (1988); \u003ci\u003eAndrea del Verrocchio's Celebration: 1435-1488\u003c\/i\u003e (1990); \u003ci\u003eThe Symbolism of Vanitas in the Arts\u003c\/i\u003e (1993); \u003ci\u003eMedievalism and Pre-Raphaelitism\u003c\/i\u003e (1993); \u003ci\u003ePiero della Francesca's Treatise on Painting\u003c\/i\u003e (facsimile, 1994); \u003ci\u003eReadings in Italian Mannerism\u003c\/i\u003e (Lang, 1997); \u003ci\u003eSelf-Portraits of Women Painters\u003c\/i\u003e (2000 and 2009); \u003ci\u003eNeoplatonism and the Arts\u003c\/i\u003e (2000); \u003ci\u003eEssays on Women Artists: 'The Most Excellent'\u003c\/i\u003e (2003); \u003ci\u003eNeoplatonic Aesthetics in Literature, Music and the Visual Art\u003c\/i\u003e (Lang, 2004); \u003ci\u003eGiorgio Vasari's Teachers: Sacred and Profane Art\u003c\/i\u003e (Lang, 2007); \u003ci\u003eGiuseppe Arcimboldo\u003c\/i\u003e (2008); \u003ci\u003eThe Homes of Giorgio Vasari\u003c\/i\u003e (Lang, 2006); \u003ci\u003eLe dimore di Giorgio Vasari\u003c\/i\u003e (Lang, 2011); and \u003ci\u003eGiorgio Vasari's Life and Lives, A Homage of Einar Rud\u003c\/i\u003e (2011).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 333\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.8 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 21, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457693401341,"sku":"9781433107993","price":112.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/WGxrUEVZWGNRdEdyUnhMK0JUaldudz09.webp?v=1777242801","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/giorgio-vasaris-prefaces-art-and-theory-with-a-foreword-by-wolfram-prinz-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
