Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists by Mike Venezia**

These short books about various artists contain a ton of great information plus humorous comments from the author/illustrator Mr. Venezia.
My sons read a few of these titles when we studied the Renaissance artists.  My twelve year old especially enjoyed them.
**Highly, highly recommend.
