Vasari’s greatest contribution to art history is his Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors and Architects, the first comprehensive collection of biographies of the great masters of the Italian Renaissance. This landmark work remains an invaluable source on the lives and achievements of such geniuses as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Raphael Santi. Vasari also left his own mark on the art world as a gifted painter and architect, creating numerous monumental frescoes, altarpieces, and paintings, among which The Assumption of the Virgin and Saint Luke Painting the Virgin are particularly notable.
