Flandres reconsiderada: A seção “Dos Diversos Artífices Flamengos” de As Vidas dos Mais Excelentes Pintores, Escultores e Arquitetos, de Giorgio Vasari, como fonte para o estudo da relação Itália/Flandres no século XVI

Abstract

In 1568, Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects...are reviewed and augmented. In the chapter entitled, a posteriori, Of Divers Flemish Artists, that we now translate, the Tuscan master provides us with a brief summary of Flemish art. An important source of information concerning Flemish paiting for the writing of this chapter of the Lives... is Flemish painter and humanist Domenicus Lampsonius, the au­thor of Pictorum aliquot Celebrium Germaniae Inferioris Effigies (1572), through the correspondence exchanged between him and Vasari, dating from the years 1564-1565.
