Very little is known of this artist; Giorgione. Scarcely five paintings can be ascribed with absolute certainty to his hand. Yet these suffice to secure him a fame nearly as great as that of the great leaders of the new movement. Strangely enough, even these pictures contain something of a puzzle. We are not sure what the most accomplished one, The Tempest, represents.
His work, The Allendale Nativity/Adoration of the Shepherds c. 1505 and many other priceless works can be viewed at the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC
