A CBC podcast on Giorgio Vasari, commonly thought of as the first art historian.

From CBC:

“In the mid-1500s, Giorgio Vasari’s short biographies created art history, the artist as genius and even the “Renaissance”. Although rife with inaccuracies and outright lies, his book is still the source on Leonardo, Michelangelo, and many others”
