Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Hardback. Dust Jacket. 4to. pp xxiv, 176. Original publishers black cloth, lettered gilt at the spine. Copiously illustrated in colour and black and white throughout. Well known for his paintings and his book The Lives of the Artists, Giorgio Vasari also served as court architect to Grand Duke Cosimo I de Medici, contributing to Medicean legitimacy through such politically symbolic buildings as the Uffizi in Florence. Leon Satkowski presents the first book in any language to survey the architecture of Vasari. This book is very heavy, and delivery costs may be a consideration especially outside Britain.
