There was a giant book they gave us in Art school called “Gardener’s Art through the ages” first edition (1926). Not sure where you can get it, I have seen more recent editions on Amazon.

Florentine Renaissance artists are more famous today than their Venetian contemporaries in large part because Vasari, a Florentine, wrote about them while some were still alive. But that says a lot about how readable and full of interest is Vasari's book "Lives of the Artists."
