Giorgio Vasari’s 'Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects' was first published in 1550 and reissued, greatly expanded, in 1568. A painter himself, he knew personally many of the artists about whom he (and his collaborators) wrote, and his 'Lives' remains the single most informative source on Renaissance art in Italy. Here it is open at the beginning of his biography of Titian.
Provenance
Purchased by Bellisario Bulgarini from the bookseller Antonmaria Camorri, 25 February 1585. Acquired by Queen Victoria, November 1864
