Giorgione ...

Edición de la obra Giorgione

"Giorgione is regarded as one of the preeminent, but most elusive artists in Venice at the turn of the sixteenth century. He is the subject of myth and hot critical debate, and few works can be attributed to him with any certainty. Yet, it is known that his master was Giovanni Bellini, and that he painted in the Doge's palace in Venice, and collaborated with Titian on frescoes outside the Fondaco dei Tedeschi. It is suggested that Giorgione was the superior of the two, and that Titian's work showed the influence of Giorgione for the rest of his career. This beautiful volume offers a timely critical reassessment of the artist's life and work, accompanied by high-quality reproductions showing the details of his style and iconography." "This is a valuable book for every Renaissance scholar and admirer of Venetian painting."--BOOK JACKET.
