You can see what historical and contemporary personalities, including but not limited to other painters, they are connected with, as well as topics, movements, museum collections, and so on. A: What is this project now - could you please describe it in brief?įL: The Vasari Diagram is an interactive data visualization tool that makes the networks and semantic links of old and modern painters easy to analyze. Thanks to the user-friendly interface we also aim to reach a broader audience who would enjoy exploring the network of their favorite painter. So we decided to name this project after Giorgio Vasari, a 16th-century painter credited with the invention of the genre of the encyclopedia of artistic biographies and often called the first art historian.īecause the Vasari Diagram makes it easy to reveal unusual connections between historical figures (from different or the same periods), it can be a very effective tool for academic research. In a nutshell, what we made is a reversed Wikipedia. A: Why did you decide to make the Vasari Diagram and for whom it can be useful?įL: We wanted to explore how painters relate to each other and thought it would be a good idea to analyze for each painter which Wikipedia articles are linking to their page. The Vasari project relates to her interest in applying modern technologies to understand the perception of art history in modern societies. In 2019, Temenuzhka published an amazing book, Le langage des mains dans l’art. in early modern art from the University of Strasbourg (France), currently a postdoc at the University of Vienna. My teammate on the Vasari Diagram is Temenuzhka Dimova.
The Vasari Diagram project connects two of my main interests: data visualization and art heritage. I am a retired computer engineer living in Lausanne (Switzerland) and a co-founder of the Jacques Edouard Berger Foundation for art archives and media collection. Read our interview where Francis describes the Vasari Diagram project and how An圜hart is used, and check it out!Īn圜hart: Hello Francis! To begin with, could you please introduce yourself and your teammate to our community?įrancis Lapique: Hello! I am one of the two people who created the Vasari Diagram project. This project lets anyone explore which people and topics various painters are connected with. Here is one of such examples.įrancis Lapique and Temenuzhka Dimova ended up using our Sunburst Chart solution in their Vasari Diagram, a fascinating asset for art history researchers and enthusiasts. There are numerous cases where our customers first picked a different JavaScript charting library to operate data visualization in their projects but then could not get absolutely what they wanted, and in the end, switched to An圜hart and are happy with their new and final choice.
