Giorgio Vasari
Giorgio Vasari (1511-74) was an accomplished painter and architect, but it is for his illuminating biographies that he is best remembered. George Bull translated widely from the Italian, including Cellini’s ‘Autobiography’ and Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince’. He is also the author of a number of books on the Renaissance.
