That's an excellent comment on Giorgione&#...H:<br /><br />That's an excellent comment on Giorgione's subdued symbolism. <br /><br />I'm not sure I understand your last sentence--"insinuates the Vendramin." Gabriele Vendramin owned the Tempesta but I'm not sure that he was the original patron. I lean toward Vittore Beccaro but no one knows anything about him. In a future post I will publish the Vendramin inventory.<br /><br />About the articles. I'm fortunate to live in a town with two small universities and each has a good art history collection. Also, their librarians have ben very helpful in getting me copies of journal articles. <br /><br />I have also acquired over the years a good collection of my own.I especially think that exhibition catalogs are a great value for the money. Besides great images, often with great detail images, they usually feature a number of fine research articles. The catalog, Giorgione, Myth and Enigma, of the 2004 exhibition is a real gem.<br /><br />I like your contest but I don't understand why you would give away a book which you might use again someday.<br /><br />Thanks for checking out my blog. I look at yours every day.<br /><br />FrankDr. Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469403843869655063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054785923214156833.post-3798485620690749152010-10-11T05:18:16.841-07:002010-10-11T05:18:16.841-07:00Very interesting Frank.

Alas, here in Oz, access to such things is limited, or at the very least quite expensive.<br /><br />Through reading your research, I am fast accepting that Giorgione was just like other artists of the day, carefully balancing the sacred and profane, though not doing it an as obvious a fashion as Botticelli for example. Unlike Botticelli's works for his well-known patrons, Giorgione's symbolism does not give up as much about his patrons.<br /><br />Even in the Tempesta, I cant see anything that deliberately insinuates the Vendramin... do you?<br /><br />HAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091875643921165081noreply@blogger.com
