Vasari was a Mannerist painter who was highly regarded both as a painter and architect in his day but rather less so in later centuries. He was effectively what would now be called the minister of culture to the Medici court in Florence, and the ''Lives'' promoted, with enduring success, the idea of Florentine superiority in the visual arts.
Vasari designed the ''Tomb of Michelangelo'', his hero, in the Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence, that was completed in 1578. Based on Vasari's text in print about Giotto's new manner of painting as a ''rinascita'' (rebirth), author Jules Michelet, in his ''Histoire de France'' (1835), suggested the adoption of Vasari's concept, using the term ''Renaissance'' (from French) to distinguish the cultural change. The term was adopted thereafter in historiography and is still in use today. Provided by Wikipedia
