No individual has had a greater impact on early modern art and its historiography than Giorgio Vasari—courtier and architect to Duke Cosimo de’Medici, founder of the Florentine Accademia, and renowned author of Lives of the Artists. On the quincentennial anniversary of his birth, Vasari/500 will bring together an international group of scholars to reassess the Tuscan artist’s central role in charting histories of the Renaissance.
