About Giorgio Vasari
Working at the height of the Renaissance period, Giorgio Vasari produced a body of work that remains foundational to Western art. The recurring themes across the surviving paintings — love & romance — show an artist returning to the same questions about the human figure, light, and the moral weight of a scene that Renaissance painting was uniquely equipped to answer.
Museums now holding Giorgio Vasari's work include Art Institute of Chicago. On each painting's page here, we go beyond the caption to cover subject, symbolism, technique, and provenance — the context a modern viewer needs to see what the original audience saw.
