Abstract
The importance of Duke Cosimo I de' Medici to the second edition
of Giorgio Vasari's
Le vite di più eccellenti architetti, pittori, et scultori
italiani, da Cimabue insino a' tempi
nostri (commonly known as the Lives) has long been
recognized. However, the influence
of the duke in the parte teorica, Vasari's technical
treatises, which precede the body of
the Lives, has often been ignored. This study examines
Vasari's inclusion of the duke
into the company of "artists" assembled in the fictive workshop of
the parte teorica.
Focusing on an anecdote concerning the carving of porphyry from
"Della architettura,"
this study will argue that, for Vasari, the duke was essential for
the perpetuation of
artistic practices in Renaissance Florence.
