Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574), who was a well known artist and architect of his life time which mainly coincides with Renaissance art’s climax days, was born at Arazzo. However, he spent most of his life in his house in Florence that is decorated as a Vasari museum now and Rome which are also the places where he has worked as an artist and architect. However, his philosophy in art and art history, which is mainly based on the idea of art’s being an imitation of nature and that painting consists of perfecting of means of representation, is closely related to Italian humanism and it is this philosophy that made him a more famous and better known art biographer. He believed that this humanism has a high level of perfection in Classical antiquity and that art passed through a period of decline in Middle Ages but later found its true path by Giotto.
