BonusEp. 13: The Lonely Palette Reads Giorgio Vasari on Sandro Botticelli
b'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 \\u201cThe Lives of the Artists\\u201d (Bondanella trans., 1991), particularly his practical jokes, from which no friend or neighbor escaped unscathed.\\n\\nThis is a free edition of The Lonely Palette Reads, a perk that will be going out exclusively to Patreon patrons in the future.
