BonusEp. 13: The Lonely Palette Reads Giorgio Vasari on Sandro Botticelli

Giorgio Vasari (1511-74) may have gone down in history as the very
first Western art historian, but he is also a messy bench who loves
drama, and we are here for it. Listen to his take on Sandro
Botticelli from “The Lives of the Artists” (Bondanella trans.,
1991), particularly his practical jokes, from which no friend or
neighbor escaped unscathed. This is a free edition of The Lonely
Palette Reads, a perk that will be going out exclusively to Patreon
patrons in the future. To become a patron, go to
