从13世纪的西马布埃和乔托开始，瓦萨里追溯了意大利艺术跨越三个世纪的发展，直到莱昂纳多和米开朗基罗的黄金时代。瓦萨里描绘了年轻的乔托在石头上划出他的第一幅画；多纳泰罗凝视着布鲁内莱斯基的十字架；米开朗基罗在不耐烦的教皇朱利叶斯二世的骚扰下，在西斯廷教堂上的艰苦工作，这些伟大的人物和他们的不朽作品都被生动地展现出来。著作中还传达了许多关于瓦萨里本人的信息，以及他作为一个评论家在对艺术的热情鼓舞下的杰出能力。

Beginning with Cimabue and Giotto in the thirteenth century, Vasari traces the development of Italian art across three centuries to the golden epoch of Leonardo and Michelangelo. Great men, and their immortal works, are brought vividly to life, as Vasari depicts the young Giotto scratching his first drawings on stone; Donatello gazing at Brunelleschi's crucifix; and Michelangelo's painstaking work on the Sistine Chapel, harassed by the impatient Pope Julius II. The Lives also convey much about Vasari himself and his outstanding abilities as a critic inspired by his passion for art.

乔尔乔·瓦萨里（Giorgio Vasari，1511年7月30日－1574年6月27日），意大利文艺复兴时期画家和建筑师，以传记《艺苑名人传》留名后世，为艺术史作品的出版先驱。

Giorgio Vasari (1511-74) was an accomplished painter and architect, but it is for his illuminating biographies of artists that he is best remembered. George Bull translated widely from the Italian during his lifetime, and also wrote several books on the Renaissance period.
