EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Michele Sanmicheli, an esteemed Italian architect and sculptor from the 16th century. The image is derived from Giorgio Vasari's renowned work, "The Lives of the Most Excellent Italian Painters, Sculptors, and Architects" published around 1568. With its origins in a private collection, this piece offers a glimpse into the world of fine art during the Florentine school era. Sanmicheli was known for his contributions to Mannerism, an artistic style characterized by exaggerated proportions and intricate details. His architectural designs were highly influential in Italy, particularly in Verona where he left an indelible mark on the cityscape with his innovative structures. In this woodcut portrait captured by Vasari himself, we see Sanmicheli portrayed with great attention to detail. The graphic arts technique employed here brings out his distinctive features and captures his essence as both an artist and architect. This print not only serves as a visual tribute to Sanmicheli but also represents a significant historical document that sheds light on Renaissance artistry in Italy. It invites us to appreciate the talent and creativity of one of Italy's most excellent architects while offering insight into Vasari's comprehensive study on Italian artists during that time period.
