Vasari, Giorgio 1511-74
Italian artist and art historian

Born in Arezzo, he studied under Michelangelo, and lived mostly in Florence and Rome. He was a greater architect than painter, but he is best known for his Vite de' piů eccellenti Pittori, Scultori, e Architettori (1550, 'Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects'), a book of biographies and of art criticism.
