Giorgio Vasari
1511–1574
(b Arezzo, 30 July 1511; d Florence, 27 June 1574). Italian painter, architect, and writer, active mainly in Florence and Rome. In his day he was a leading painter, architect, and artistic impresario, but his activities in these fields have been totally overshadowed by his role as the most important of all artistic biographers.
