Summary: For those who might be interested.
Comment: ( This review refers to the 'unknown binding').
Giorgio Vasary was an Italian painter and designer. He was born in Arezzo in 1511 and died in 1574.
Though he thought himself to be one of the leading artists of his time, only his 'lives' are now worthwhile remembering. Vasary gives a description of the works and lives of more than 165 painters, sculptors and architects.
The work published by Abrams in 1979 and translated into English by Gaston Du C. de Vere (in 1912) has 2322 pages divided in three volumes, leather bound (only the back) and with colour illustrations on separate leaflets glued on the page and protected by transparant paper. A rich decorated box protects the three volumes.
You could consider ' the lives ' as an encyclopedia of Italian art starting with Giovanni Cimabue (1240 - 1302) and closing with Bronzino (1503 - 1572).
