Quarto (227 × 152 mm.). [7] leaves, 93, [3] pages, half-title and one plate. Half-vellum binding with lettering piece on spine, marbled edges. Faint damp stain in the upper white margin; small ink stains at pp. 61-64.

First edition. A biography of the most important Venetian painter of the second half of the XVI century. Since Giorgio Vasari had so often neglected Venetian artists in his Vite, Ridolfi wrote several of their biographies, the first one being Jacopo Tintoretto's.
