I had to read bits of the Vasari for an art history class I took in Arezzo, Italy (where he's from) this summer. The man shaped what we think about the Renaissance more than the art itself did. Vasari's the most important person related to art history you've never heard of (if you haven't heard of him). His inclusion on this list pretty much validates it for me and I'll be adding whichever of these books I haven't read to my list.
