BAROLSKY, PAUL - GIOTTO'S father and the family of VASARI'S LIVES.

Pensylvania, Pennsylvania State University Press, 1992. 1st edition. Cloth with fine dustjacket, 23,5cmx15,5cm, Good copy. Jacket illustration: Giotto, 'Nativity', detail of Joseph. 'Giottos Father' is the first book to examine the extensive and deep theme of family in Vasari's 'Lives' and to explaine its importance in the study of the family in the sixteenth century. The world of the artist's workshop was closely tied to the artist's family life. Artists were often trained by their fathers, and they sometimes married into the families of other artists. It is thus reasonable for Vasari to have viewed the community of artists as an extended family of brotherhood presided over by major patrichal figures, for example, Giotto, Ghiberti, and Raphael. Conclusion: 'The Lives' as social history. Bibliographical note and index. 139 pag.
