Description
A longawaited new translation of Giorgio Vasaris Life of Leonardo da Vinci, illustrated for the first time, that preserves Vasaris compelling narrative and respects his meaning with a new precision.Giorgio Vasaris Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (1550 and 1568) is a classic of cultural history. In his monumental assembly of artists lives, no life is more vivid than that of Leonardo da Vinci, a nearcontemporary of Vasari. Illustrated with the works of art discussed by Vasari, and including a selection of Da Vincis studies of science and technology, The Life of Leonardo da Vinci paints an intriguing picture of the progress of art in the hands of the master. Succinct notes also provide new insights in light of modern knowledge of Da Vincis career.This beautiful gift edition offers a literary translation by eminent scholar Martin Kemp that respects the sixteenthcentury Italian, transposing Vasaris vocabulary into its modern equivalent. Translated in partnership with Lucy Russell, the text will be the first to integrate the 1550 edition and the expanded version of 1568. This fascinating and accessible read coincides with the five hundredth anniversary of Da Vincis death. 30 color illustrations
