Before Vasari's extraordinary book, art was considered a technical skill rather than an intellectual pursuit, and artists were mere decorators and craftsmen. It was through Vasari's visionary writings that artists like Raphael, Leonardo, and Michelangelo came to be regarded as great masters of life as well as art, their creative genius celebrated as a divine gift. Their enduring reputations testify to Vasari's profound yet unspoken influence on western culture. An advisor to kings and pontiffs--and a confidant to Titian, Donatello, and more--Vasari enjoyed an exhilarating career amid the thrilling culture of Renaissance Italy"--Inside dust jacket. 600 10 $a Vasari, Giorgio, $d 1511-1574. 650 0 $a Artists $z Italy $v Biography. 650 0 $a Biographers $z Italy $v Biography. 650 0 $a Renaissance $z Italy. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Charney, Noah, $e author. 941 $a 4 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210827010135.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210025840.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403020254.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20180324010054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8F3C7CCB49211E7AF23A20697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
