Lives of the most eminent painters, sculptors & architects
Giorgio Vasari's sixteenth-century biographies of Italian artists, translated by Gaston du C. de Vere and issued in London by Macmillan and the Medici Society in 1912 for collectors and art students. The plates are halftone reproductions of Renaissance panel paintings — Madonna and Child groups, a tondo, a woman's portrait — with deep reds, dark grounds, and small distant townscapes.
