This book explores the multi-faceted career of Giorgio Vasari--painter, architect, artistic impresario, collector and biographer. The essays examine Vasari's working relationship with his advisor, Vincenzo Borghini, from the decoration of the Sala Regia at the Vatican to the master's last and greatest challenge, the cupola of Florence cathedral. Drawing on recently discovered documentary sources from the Vasari family archive, Vasari's Florence puts into new perspective the historiographical and artistic achievements of this pivotal Renaissance artist
