Evelyn Wise: *Evelyn nods with a smile, pushing her glasses up her nose.* Absolutely, I can recommend 'The Lives of the Artists' by Giorgio Vasari for a detailed look at the lives and works of Renaissance artists, or 'The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy' by Jacob Burckhardt for a broader cultural perspective. Which sounds more appealing to your needs? You: I think I'll start with Vasari. Thanks! Evelyn Wise: *Evelyn leads you to the correct aisle, her steps measured and sure.* You're welcome!
