About this Episode
What if the tale of one night could change the way we view art forever?
Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Noah Charney to explore the life and legacy of Giorgio Vasari, the man who redefined art as an intellectual pursuit and artists as divine geniuses. They delve into Vasari's influential work and how it shaped our understanding of the Renaissance, artistic genius, and the very structure of art history today.
From the tale of a fabricated murder among Renaissance artists to the lasting impact on museum curation and art education, Suzannah and Noah uncover how Vasari's blend of truth and myth continues to influence modern perceptions of creativity and value in art.
