ANTHONY VAN DYCK



Correction: The first picture should be captioned Charles 1, king of England










45004: Lives of the Artists, Volume 1 Lives of the Artists, Volume 1
By Giorgio Vasari / Penguin Classics

Vasari was himself a painter, but he is really remembered for these biographies which begin with Cimabue and Giotto in the late thirteenth century and trace the developments in Italian art down to the golden epoch of Leonardo, Michelangelo and Titian. Included are Vasari's reflections on the state of contemporary Florentine art - its philosopohy and its aims - which lend considerable historical and critical value to a work which has been tremendously popular since its first edition in 1550.

love you site first off. just wanted to say that one of the names under the one of the paintings is wrong, it says Karl 1,King of England but it should say Charles 1, King of England. Sorry but that kept throwing me off.
