Gardner's Art Through the Ages

This book is the classic reference for the study of art. It features a history of artists and their works, as well as lucid and engaging descriptions of the styles and periods of art history. Highly recommended for both students and scholars.

Renaissance painter Giorgione is admired for his sensuous and sophisticated scenes. One painting attributed to the artist, which is titled Pastoral Scene (F�te Champ�tre), is a delicious and fleshy feast for the eyes and mind. Another of the artist's memorable works is his Sleeping Venus. In addition, Giorgione also painted magnificent landscape backgrounds. This can be seen in the dramatic landscape of The Tempest, as well as in the backdrops of some of his other paintings.

To learn more about Giorgione and his paintings, select a title and click on one (or more) of the links above. And if you want to know even more about the artist, his life, and his work, there are recommended books on the pages of this section.
