"Vasari on Technique: Being the Introduction to the Three Arts of Design" by Giorgio Vasari is a technical treatise on the arts of architecture, sculpture, and painting, written during the mid-16th century. This work provides a detailed methodology and analysis of various artistic processes, materials, and their applications, aimed at both practitioners and enthusiasts of the arts. In this treatise, Vasari seeks to educate readers on the complexities and practicalities of artistic creation, addressing the techniques and challenges faced by artists of his time. The opening of "Vasari on Technique" introduces the structure of the work and the various artistic domains it will cover. It begins with a preface explaining Vasari's intent to share knowledge about artistic techniques that have often been overlooked. He includes an account of the different types of stones used in architecture and sculpture, detailing their properties and methods of manipulation, with examples of ancient and contemporary works. The text sets a foundation for the technical discussions that follow, highlighting the artistic practices and materials that were essential to the High Renaissance, thus drawing readers into the rich, practical world of Renaissance artistry.
