ジョルジョ・ヴァザーリのウフィツィ：建築とその表現Giorgio Vasari (1511 - 1574) was a noted Italian painter, writer, historian, and architect.
Vasari today is best known for his biographies of Italian artists, and he is considered the founder of scholarly art history writing.
To celebrate the 500th anniversary of Vasari's birth, the Kyoto University Museum is displaying architectural models and other works related to the Uffizi Museum in Florence.
The exhibit also focuses on Vasari's work as an architect.
Vasari is not well known in Japan. This is wonderful opportunity for those not familiar with a titan of Italian art and architecture to learn. For those already versed in Vasari's work, this is a great chance to become reacquainted.
The exhibit runs through February 5th.
