"The authors' greatest service to their subject is to reestablish
him as a tireless artist and a central witness to an epic period of
Italian history..."
*The Sunday Times*
"Ingrid Rowland and Noah Charney give full measure to his [Georgio
Vasari's] artistic skills (and the diplomatic adroitness he needed
to exercise them) and place him again at the centre of 16th-century
Italian art."
*Michael Prodger, Art Books of the Year 2017 - The Sunday
Times*
"... an insightful and gripping new book... Ms Rowland and Mr
Charney draw a panoramic view of the art-world during the
Renaissance, placing Vasari at the centre... This is an important
book and long awaited. The authors have done a commendable job of
returning to his rightful place the man who inflated the reputation
of art and artists so successfully that he himself was squeezed out
of the picture."
*The Economist*
"... absorbing... a page-turningly compelling overview of Giorgio
Vasari and his age..."
*Literary Review*
