Le Vite de' piu eccellenti pittori, scultori, e architettori
The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects is a series of artist biographies written by 16th-century Italian painter and architect Giorgio Vasari, which is considered "perhaps the most famous, and even today the most-read work of the older literature of art", "some of the Italian Renaissance's most influential writing on art", and "the first important book on art history".
