    Book Description:
    Giorgio Vasari, friend of Michelangelo and the art historian, in the second edition of his "Lives of the Artists" mentioned almost 500 different prints from the 15th and 16th centuries, from both Italy and the North. Even with a number of editions of Vasari's "Lives" now in print, this section of his text on prints is not readily available. This volume identifies his numerous references and discusses the implications of his choices. The illustrations show works not found in the standard illustrated compendiums, such as Bartsch and Hollstein. Others depict works that Vasari recommended but that have slipped from our modern conventions of what ideas a print should convey, and how it should convey them.
