ISBN: 9781843680499
Description: London: Pallas Athene, 2013. 15cm., pbk., 158pp. illus. Summary : Collected here for the first time, these fascinating early biographies, two of which have never been translated before, describe and celebrate the astonishingly fertile art of Paolo Veronese. Most of what we know about Veronese comes from these three writings, and the Life by Carlo Ridolfi broke new ground in its scope and ambition. Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574), a highly successful Florentine painter, contemporary and friend of Michelangelo, and pioneer collector of drawings, compiled the Lives of the Most Famous Painters, Sculptors and Architects, which remains the greatest single work on the art of the Italian renaissance. Raffaele Borghini (1537-1588), another Florentine artist and theorist of art, expanded on Vasari’s biography. Carlo Ridolfi (1594-1658), a Venetian, was also a painter but achieved greater fame as a chronicler of the art of Venice. More consciously literary than Vasari, he also was more scholarly in his use of documentation. Translated and introduced by Xavier F. Salomon, Curator of Southern Baroque Paintings, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 14 pages of prints after Veronese, by contemporaries including the Carracci.
