	Giorgione - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Giorgione is known for the elusive poetic quality of his work, and for the fact only a very few (around six) paintings are known for certain to be his work.
		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.

	ART / 4 / 2DAY
		Giorgione was evidently also prized as a painter of portraits, many of them ‘fancy’ portraits, or views in close-up of the kind of poetic or mythological figure also seen in his narratives.
		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 or Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco was born in 1477 or 1478 in Castelfranco.

	Castelfranco And Bassano
		THE road from Treviso to Castelfranco is a pleasant way enough in the springtime when the tender green of the new leaf gives the great world of the plain an almost vivid radiance, which it soon loses in the monotonous richness of early summer, the dust and drought of July.
		To begin with, Castelfranco is a fully developed castello, a walled town defended by the Musone, with a great borgo on the further side of the river.
		The other tale is less happy, and we owe its currency to Ridolfi, who says that Giorgione died of despair at the infidelity of his lady and the ingratitude of his disciple, Pietro Luzzo of Feltre, called Zarotto, by whom she had been seduced from him.

		From the natural surroundings of Giorgiones childhood was no doubt derived his ideal of pastoral scenery, the country of pleasant copses, glades, brooks and hills amid which his personages love to wander or recline with lute and pipe.
		There are inclusive critics who still claim for Giorgione nearly every painting of the time that at all resembles his manner, and there are exclusive critics who pare down to some ten or a dozen the list of extant pictures which they will admit to be actually his.
		The great Castelfranco altarpiece, still, in spite of many restorations, one of the most classically pure and radiantly impressive works of Renaissance painting, may be taken as closing the earlier phase of the young masters work (1504).

		Giorgione created an illusion of airiness and atmosphere in his landscapes by using warm, delicately shaded colours over relatively large areas and by letting one hue flow into another similar one.

		Giorgione means "big George"; Ruskin calls him "stout George"; all agree that he was a large, handsome man, of splendid and attractive presence.
		Giorgione painted the widest range of subjects from altar-piece to fte-champtre, employed few figures — usually three — in his compositions, and imitated the actual texture of draperies as none had ever done before.
		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 From Castelfranco - Italiansrus.com
		Few painters have had so much fame as Giorgione da Castelfranco, known as Zorzo or Zorzi, during his brief existence and later, but for irony of fate, we know little of his life and of his works, none of them signed, some finished by Titian, many counterfeited in the 17th century.
		Giorgione, who had the passion "for painting, for music and for love" - as the chronicle affirms — was the artist preferred by a cultured and elegant society that loved beauty: the music of Giorgione's lute, his singing and surrounded itself with his pictures.
		Giorgione sees nature through his feelings and emotions, and every element of it, man himself, is just a detail, a detail of a whole.

		Even when Pater published his hymn to the meaningless, hedonist beauty of Giorgione (c1476-1510), he had to admit that a large oeuvre was shrinking, that many paintings attributed to Giorgione might not be his.
		Giorgione's hermetic picture of a woman and child and a man looking on as louring storm-clouds swarm the landscape is a new kind of visual story, his own private poem; it has never been satisfactorily "explained" through literary sources.
		If this allusion to landscape sounds excessive, Giorgione was also the painter (with Titian) of a nude now in Dresden, whose curves are mirrored by the landscape in which she lies.

	Giorgione, da Castelfranco
		The contrast between the darkness of the mood, the tension of the coming storm, and the calm passivity of the two figures, the soldier’ and ‘the gypsy’, give the painting a great sense of foreboding.
		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.
		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).

		As an architect he was perhaps more successful: the loggia of the Palazzo degli Uffizi by the Arno, the urbanistic planning of its long narrow courtyard that functions as a public piazza, and the long passage connecting it with the Pitti Palace, through Ponte Vecchio, are his chief work.
		Unhappily he did much to injure the fine medieval churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce, from both of which he removed the original rood-screen and loft, and remodelled the retro-choir in the Mannerist taste of his time.

		Vasari's knowledge of Giorgione's career and works was rudimentary; Giorgione painted largely for the Venetian aristocracy, to whose private collections the friend of Florentine and Roman nobles did not have access.
		That Vasari recognised his importance as a painter is signalled by Giorgione's presence in the trio of Leonardo, Giorgione and Correggio, who introduce the third age of painting.
		"Giorgione loved to paint frescoes...[so when] the Fondaco dei Tedeschi was completely burnt, the Signoria decreed that it should be rebuilt [and that] Giorgione should colour it in fresco as he wished..." I-275

		Giorgio Vasari (Arezzo, Tuscany July 3, 1511 - Florence, June 27, 1571) was an Italian painter and architect, mainly known for his famous biographies of Italian artists.
		At a very early age he became a pupil of Guglielmo da Marsiglia, a very skilful painter of stained glass, to whom he was recommended by his own kinsman, the painter Luca Signorelli.
		At the age of sixteen he went to Florence, where he studied under Michelangelo and Andrea del Sarto, aided by the patronage of the Medici princes.

		Some gentlemen, not knowing that Giorgione had ceased to work there, and that Titian was employed upon it, meeting Giorgione one day, began to congratulate him, saying he was doing better on this facade than he had done on that one on the Grand Canal.
		And this vexed Giorgione so much that until the work was finished, and it was known that Titian had done that part, he would not be seen, and from that time he would not let Titian work with him or be his friend.
		This, which many have supposed to be from Giorgione's hand, has become the chief object of devotion in Venice, and has received in alms rnore crowns than Titian and Giorgione earned in their whole life.

	Venice Resources
		Much of what we know about Giorgio da Castelfranco (Giorgione) has come to us from Vasari; beyond this few contemporary records have survived and those tend to relate to his work rather than the man (such as the documents recording the 1508 fresco facade of the Fondaco de' Tedeschi).
		His reputation for establishing the High Renaissance style in Venice, despite the parsity of work extant, is suggested by the quality of pieces such as Sleeping Venus and the impact of his followers, in particular Titian.
		Peter Humfrey records a total catalogue of 10 to 15 works by Giorgione with another equal or larger group of works that are difficult to authenticate due to lack of provenance and chronological difficulties.

	Ruskin MP I Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Giorgione, according to Vasari was a revolutionary, the first to use the maniera moderna in Venice, though Vasari's assumptions about the distinction between the Florentine and Venetian schools imply that Giorgione's failure to concentrate on 'design / disegno' meant that he could not achieve the greatness of
		Moreover, Giorgione produced work using mythological themes which had up to that time been the preserve of the furniture painters.
		Vasari suggests that it is often difficult to distinguish the work of Titian from that of Giorgione, and that has remained a problem, as much for art historians now as for Ruskin (see Ruskin's knowledge of Giorgione's work).

		And whether the Venus of Urbino is indeed the lover of the Duke or Urbino or a copy of Giorgione's Sleeping Venus, or even Titian's own replication of "Danae", the nude Goddess invites us to enjoy our vision of her perfectly luminated body within her luxurious surroundings.

	La Tempesta (Tempest) - Italiansrus.com
		Already master of his peculiar style, Giorgione painted this work of art, that many critics intended, unsuccessfully, to give it a symbolical and misterious meaning.
		In fact the X-rays have revealed that, in a first moment, instead of the soldier, Giorgione had painted another naked woman, she sat, on the opposite shore of the stream.
		But the principal meaning is the contemplation and exaltation of nature itself and for itself, in a play of different instruments and elements, that Giorgione perceives, listens and translates into a personal and pictorical aesthetic vision.
