“A digest of Vasari’s biographies, which is amply sufficient for artist and critic and intensely interesting for the general lover of Italian art history. The editor and translator manages the subject with consummate skill. What is of notorious inaccuracy is deftly suppressed, and what is of permanent value in the lives of the artists or in the surroundings in which they worked is quite as skillfully emphasized. The style, too, has a touch of the archaic, which while everywhere intelligible, gives a charming illusion of antiquity.”
