Two Top Scholars Collaborate to Produce Beautiful Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Giorgio Vasari: Architect and Courtier (Hardcover)
This is much more than a biography of Vasari. It uses Vasari as the pivot around which the author develops an intricate account of art and cultural politics in Florence and more generally Tuscany, in the sixteenth-century. The relationships between Vasari and Michelangelo, and Grand Duke Cosimo are well-developed and informative. For art historians, there will be little new inforamtion revealed, but it is all presented in a beautiful package. Ralph Lieberman, a highly distinguished scholar of Venetian architecture in his own right, here acts in another capacity, in which he is equally as distinguished, photographer. The photos give us Florence as we always want to see it, romantic, dramatic, but with an eye toward architectural detail.
