Paperback. Condition: New. Why is the history of art so often construed as a history of artists, when its alleged focus is art? This book responds to this question by examining Giorgio Vasari's Lives and the artist it features most centrally, Michelangelo. Printed in Florence in 1550 and republished in a substantially enlarged form in 1568, the Lives is a compendium of biographies of the most noteworthy artists, from the late Middle Ages to Vasari's time. Perhaps no other text has exerted such a formidable influence on the discipline of art history, shaping its historical and conceptual categories-principally as an effect of its biographical format and the biological model it follows, charting artistic development from birth through decline. More than any other artist in the Lives, Michelangelo exemplifies art as an expression of the individual. Yet at the same time, as this book aims to show, the Lives fashions Michelangelo as the founder of a new academic era in which art develops collectively as a discipline. Paradoxically, Vasari's celebration of Michelangelo mobilizes a conception of art as teachable and transmissible that is antithetical to Michelangelo's aesthetic ideals and unique style. Each of the five chapters of this book examines the notion of "art without an author," whereby art is teachable and not the inimitable product of a genius, or a corporate rather than an individualistic venture. By tracing Vasari's transformation of Michelangelo from an artist into a figure who legitimates a new age in art, the book bridges a longstanding dichotomy in our understanding not only of Vasari but also of Renaissance culture and art. The claims Art Without an Author makes are integrally supported by art historical research and textual/philological analysis. By way of close study, this book reaches entirely new conclusions about Michelangelo, the production and significance of Vasari's Lives, and the role "authorial" values play in Italian Renaissance culture.…

Condition: NEW. Roma: Campisano Editore, 2026 9791280956927 Studium. Ricerche di storia dell'arte 11 609 N vol.: 1, N pag.: 384, W: 15.5, Illustr.: B/N, N illustr.: 110 This book reconsiders the history and culture of the Medici family of Florence between the beginning of the ducal era (1530) and the end of the Thirty Years' War (1648), examining art collecting and patronage within a broad geographical, political, and cultural framework through unpublished case studies and innovative methodologies. The book investigates the family's lines of expansion toward Rome, the Viceroyalty of Naples, and Milan, and its relations with the European powers: Spain (through the figure of Eleanor of Toledo), France (focussing on the artistic patronage of Maria de' Medici) and the Habsburg Empire (in light of the lively artistic exchanges with the court of Rudolph II). It also shows the relevance of the Medici presence in non-European areas such as the principality of Transylvania, the Levant, and the Americas, through cultural and commercial exchanges with the Mughal Empire and Brazil. The aim is to refocus attention on the interaction between members and close associates of the family and their adversaries, and reread Medici historiography from its formation to the present day. Focusing on objects, collections, and artistic mobility around the Medici, the book delves into the relationship between art and power and the importance of the circulation of symbols in the ongoing process of identity reconfiguration of the early modern world.
