E-Book Overview
The solid, undeniable facts concerning Giorgione could be contained without congestion on a postcard, and his surviving output is confined to a mere handful of pictures, most of them fairly small. Why, then, all the fuss? What accounts for the fame and the legend? The high quality of Giorgione s work, combined with the fact of his early death - irrespective of the exact circumstances in which it may have occurred - should have sufficed to start the legend...Perfect for artists, illustrators, art and art history students and art lovers! 104 pages, over-sized, profusely illustrated. A must for every Giorgione, Venetian, Italian, Classical, 16th Century European painting fan and all aspiring painters!
