Giorgio Vasari (1511–1571) is well known for his celebrated work on the lives of the Renaissance artists. But not many people know that Vasari was a painter and architect as well as a biographer, and that he wrote one of the most valuable treatises on the technical methods of the painters, architects, and sculptors of his time. This is the first and only English translation of this important technical material (originally published in 1550 as an introduction to Vasari's Lives of the Artists). Vasari, as a practical craftsman, brings to his work as unusual understanding of the processes and materials he writes about, and conveys this knowledge to the reader in a style of the pleasantest and most readable kind. In the section on architecture, he describes the methods used in constructing rustic fountains and grottos; how Michelangelo developed new uses for architectural materials; the architectural uses of enriched plaster; the Renaissance view of Ionic, Doric, Gothic, and other types of architecture; and many similar topics. In the selection on sculpture, the reader will learn about the making of the model, completion of the statue, reliefs, bronze casting, modelled plaster work, sculpture in wood, and other processes. The final section, on painting, discusses aesthetics, perspective, foreshortening, how colors were blended, fresco painting, painting in tempera, oil painting, and much more. Scholars and historians of art have long used this book as the most detailed and valuable sourcebook of its time. But its full, readable discussions, combined with the sense of actuality and historical presence it contains, make it also perhaps the best possible description of the Renaissance artists in the heyday of their achievement.

Explore the foundations of the Italian Renaissance and art history in Vasari on Technique: Being the Introduction to the Three Arts of Design. Giorgio Vasari was a 16th Century painter, sculptor and architect who is known as the father of art history. His writings on painters, sculptors and architects started a new writing genre, that of the encyclopedia of artist biographies. Vasari was writing when the Renaissance was in full bloom and this book contains many powerful examples of classical art and architecture. Vasari on Technique: Being the Introduction to the Three Arts of Design is divided into three sections: On Architecture, On Sculpture, and On Painting. Each section begins with a discussion of materials, then moves on to forms, and finally to practical considerations on how to paint, sculpt or build powerful works of art. There is a list of illustrations which identifies the plates, illustrations and figures which appear throughout the book. This is a handy guide for a reader who wants to find a particular illustration, along with specifications about the piece. As an artist himself, Vasari has great credibility when he gives advice on how to work with various materials and the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. He also has the knowledge of a true scholar, expertly explaining the technical and artistic elements of ancient and modern architectural forms, especially the Greek. The book is even more enjoyable because of Vasari's passion for art. For example, after praising classical Greek formations, Vasari attacks the Gothic style as being awful, deformed and demented. When an author blends strong opinions with scholarly discussion the way Vasari does in this book, it enlivens the text and makes art truly come alive.Vasari on Technique: Being the Introduction to the Three Arts of Design is an essential book for artists, art lovers and people who love to read.
