Vasari’s book was published in Bolognain 1647 and was one of the first books printed instead of hand written. What a revolution that must have been! 190 bibles could be printed in the time it would take to manually transcribe one copy, which was about two years. Vasari’s 10 volume set would not have been possible before this time. The International Printers Museum in Carson, California has created a replica of this press and agreed to send it to me for the exhibit.To see this piece amongst the renaissancepaintings will be key to highlighting theimportance of making all art forms accessible to everyone. Now and then!
