Abstract

One of the most complex concepts in Renaissance and Baroque artistic vocabulary is that of disegno. Like so many other terms, its original formulation is attributed to the painter, architect, town planner and theorist Giorgio Vasari, fi the follower of Michelangelo and the first art historian with his work Le Vite de’ più eccellenti Architetti, Pittori et Scultori italiani da Cimabue insino à tempi nostri descritte in lingua Toscana da Giorgio Vasari pittore Artetino...

The greatest Vasarian originality in the theoretical field of the system of the arts is the development of the concept of the arti del disegno, which points out the kinship between the three visual arts by means of a common origin, and in practice. Vasari's essential appreciation of design culminated in the creation of the Accademia del Disegno in Florence in the service of the Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici.
