Before Vasari's extraordinary book, art was considered a technical skill, and artists were mere decorators and craftsmen. It was through Vasari's visionary writings that 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. Lauded by Sarah Bakewell as "insightful, gripping, and thoroughly enjoyable," The Collector of Lives reveals how one Renaissance scholar completely redefined how we look at art."--Cover. 600 10 $a Vasari, Giorgio, $d 1511-1574 $0 (DLC)n 79084160 650 0 $a Artists $z Italy $v Biography. $0 (DLC)sh2007100566 650 0 $a Biographers $z Italy $v Biography. $0 (DLC)sh 85014148 650 0 $a Renaissance $z Italy. $0 (DLC)sh2010110367 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Charney, Noah $e author. $0 (DLC)n 2007016926 941 $a 1 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611014557.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=555CDF8427B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LS@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
