"This book considers the impact that economics had on Renaissance art. In late fifteenth-century Italy, there was increasing demand for goods of all types, including sustained demand for art which exerted significant pressure on sought-after painters. Analysing specific works, the book demonstrates the consequences of demand for decisions about production. It addresses questions of how master painters employed their workshops to fulfill the requirement for new works, and how, in the face of high demand, they produced works of quality. The book traces the careers of four artists whose work defined painting in late fifteenth-century Florence: Alessandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Filippino Lippi and Pietro Perugino, men who turned out high volumes of work and attracted the patronage of prestigious patrons, and whose reputations for excellence were widely publicized. Economic questions have long fuelled research in art history and we know a significant amount about prices and business on a macro level. Less is known about decisions on the micro level: what approaches painters took to the manufacture of bodies of commissioned work, how they made daily decisions on design and pigments application, how serial production related to creating work for commissions. The book considers these issues within the framework of two arguments. The first asserts that levels of excellence in production reflected master painters' choices; the second contends there was a central relationship among economics, design and quality. Using documentary evidence about price, scientific evidence about production, and formal analysis about appearance, the book demonstrates Renaissance business practices and shows the individual approaches artists took to producing excellence and meeting demand"--

Peintre, architecte et historien italien, Giorgio Vasari (1511-1514) est considéré comme le fondateur de l'histoire de l'art. Dans les Vies - Le Vite de' piu eccellenti pittori, scultori e architettori -, il dresse magistralement un portrait du contexte culturel et artistique de la Renaissance italienne. Il associe, pour chaque artiste, le récit de la vie avec le catalogue des œuvres, mais, pour la première fois, l'ensemble est conçu dans une réflexion globale sur le ressort des trois arts (peinture sculpture et architecture), sur le sens de leur histoire du XIIIe au XVIe siècle. Vasari s'est consacré à un véritable travail d'historien, parcourant toute l'Italie et fréquentant les ateliers pour recueillir des témoignages de première main. L'ouvrage, paru une première fois en 1550, est réédité en 1568 à Florence et comprend au final 164 biographies. Le rôle des artistes italiens dans l'histoire de l'art européen est mis en valeur avec une autorité qui marquera longtemps l'historiographie. Dans ce livre sont illustrées trente-cinq Vies, les plus célèbres, de Vasari. De Cimabue à Titien, en passant par Léonard de Vinci, Raphaël et Michel-Ange, revisitons le panthéon des maîtres de la Renaissance à l'aune de ce grand texte classique.
