	Giorgione - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While still in Castelfranco he painted the Castelfranco Madonna, a fairly conventional image of the Madonna enthroned, with saints on either side (a sacra conversazione painting).
		Giorgione came from the small town of Castelfranco Veneto, outside of Venice.
		Giorgione was the first to discard detail and substitute breadth and boldness in the treatment of nature and architecture; and he was the first to recognize that the painter's chief aim is decorative effect.

	Giorgione, da Castelfranco
		Apart from the Sleeping Venus, only four other pictures are generally accepted as unquestionably his: the Castelfranco Altarpiece (sometimes known as the Madonna and Child Enthroned with Two Saints), in the cathedral of Castelfranco; The Three Philosophers, the Portrait of a Lady (both Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna); and The Tempest (or Storm) (Accademia, Venice).
		In its symmetrical composition and crisp style, his Castelfranco Altarpiece is related to the work of Bellini (his teacher) and may well be early.
		But otherwise Giorgione may be regarded as an innovator in the development of the oil technique, in rich and warm colour and in a type of painting independent of a particular position or function.
