I do not aim to reproduce Vasari's text here; my intention is rather to assemble an archive of those works which Vasari mentions in the Lives. Vasari's text is best perused in some other medium.

Those picturesque details which have become part of our heritage may occasionally find a place; art history is always in need of a little light relief!

Such dates as are included are those commonly accepted by art historians of the present day - Vasari was careless about dates and his lapses are well documented.

When a work has been convincingly re-attributed - such as the altarpiece for Matteo Palmieri by Botticini, now welcoming visitors at the head of the staircase in the Sainsbury Wing of the National Gallery in London, which Vasari gives to Botticelli - a suitable note will be appended.

The problem of attribution is most sensitive in the case of Giotto; by reproducing those works which Vasari gave to Giotto in his second edition, I do not intend to take a particular stand.
The most coherent account of the current state of the question can be found in Charles Harrison's essay on Giotto in the first volume of the Open University's book Siena, Florence and Padua: Art Society and Religion 1280-1400. For those interested in following his arguments, I have deliberately reproduced the various versions of the Stigmatization of St Francis, and two versions of The Renunciation of Worldly Goods.

Page references (following the cited text) refer either to the two volume Penguin Classics edition of the Lives, translated by George Bull, or to the two volumes of the Everyman edition, translated by Gaston de Vere.

Clicking on the image at the head of the page, or the main image, will return you to the Life in question.

This is, and is likely to remain, a work-in-progress.
