		The Hotel Giorgione is located in the heart of Venice, in a peaceful area, only 10 minutes away by foot to Piazza San Marco and 5 from Ponte di Rialto.
		Managed with love and style from the family that owns it, the Hotel welcomes its guests with all kinds of attention to make them feel at home; elegance and charm characterize every detail of the hotel and make it a very warm and cozy residence.

	Giorgione. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Giorgione was known also as Zorgo or Zorgi da Castelfranco and as Giorgio Barbarelli.
		Almost nothing is known of his life except that he worked in Venice, undertook various important commissions in oil and fresco, and died of the plague in his early 30s.
		This revolution was accomplished simultaneously by Leonardo, but whereas Leonardo tended to suppress color in his opaque shadows, the colors of Giorgione were luminous and warm.

	Giorgione
		Giorgione means "big George"; Ruskin calls him "stout George"; all agree that he was a large, handsome man, of splendid and attractive presence.
		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 introduced into Venice the fashion of painting the fronts of houses in fresco (in 1507-08 he thus decorated, with Titian, the magnificent Fondaco dei Tedeschi); and cassoni (marriage-chests) and other pieces of furniture were not too humble for his magic brush.

	Giorgione Summary
		More mature are Giorgione's Adoration of the Kings, the little Holy Family, and the Adoration of the Shepherds, in the last of which the deep landscape corridor to the left and the group of figures to the right establish a formula for Venetian composition that survived throughout the century.
		The Tempest is Giorgione's most personal excursion into the realm of idyllic landscape, an evocation of the pastoralism of ancient Greece and Rome, represented in ancient literature by the poetry of Theocritus and Virgil and comparable with the Renaissance poetry of Pietro Bembo in I Asolani (1505) and Jacopo Sannazzaro in Arcadia (1502).
		Giorgione is known for the elusive poetic quality of his work, and for the fact that only very few (around six) paintings are known for certain to be his work.

	Biography (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Details of Giorgione's life and career are sparse and unreliable, but it appears that he was born in Castelfranco and that he studied under the Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini.
		Giorgione's innovations in subject matter were especially important in two areas: the landscape and the female nude.
		The Sleeping Venus (1510?, Gemäldegalerie, Dresden, Germany), attributed to Giorgione, pictures a reclining nude and is one of the first modern works of art in which the female figure is the principal and only subject of the picture.

	Biography
		Distinguishing between the work of Giorgione and the young Titian continues to be one of the knottiest problems in connoisseurship, the celebrated Concert Champetre in the Louvre being the picture most hotly disputed between them.
		Among the other paintings given to Giorgione are the Castelfranco Madonna, in the cathedral of his home town (first mentioned by Ridolfi in 1648 and accepted by almost all critics), and several male portraits, including a self-portrait in the Herzog-Anton-Ulrich Museum in Brunswick (perhaps a copy).
		Giorgione is said to have been handsome and amorous, and he initiated a type of dreamily romantic portrait that became immensely popular in Venice.

	Giorgione
		Giorgione's composition setting is well advanced beyond the day and time Adam and Eve were thrown out of the “Garden”.
		Giorgione’s male figure on the left seems to have been placed there on a whim as x-rays of the artwork show the figure directly beneath to be a nude woman.
		Giorgione's interest in Nature was representing nature, not one of recording exact details.

	The Tempest
		Giorgione was born circa 1477 in the Republic of Venice.
		Giorgione's treatment of the landscape, however, differs greatly from other Venetian painters of the time.
		Giorgione seems more concerned with depicting the atmosphere of the impending storm rather than the naturalism of a true tempest.

	History of Art:The High Renaissance, Mannerism - Giorgione
		Nothing is really known about Giorgione's personal life except the legends reported by the biographer and Mannerist artist Giorgio Vasari in the two editions (1550 and 1568) of his Vite de' piu eccellenti pittori, scultori, ed architettori italiani.
		Giorgione's name is given in two surviving documents of 1507 and 1508 as Zorzi da Castelfranco (in Venetian dialect); i.e., Giorgio of Castelfranco.
		Giorgione's principal public commission was the execution of frescoes on the exterior of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi (the German Exchange), where he painted the figures on the facade over the canal.
