GIORGIONE

CHAPTER I

GIORGIONE’S LIFE

Apart from tradition, very few ascertained facts are known to us as to Giorgione’s life.  The date of his birth is conjectural, there being but Vasari’s unsupported testimony that he died in his thirty-fourth year.  Now we know from unimpeachable sources that his death happened in October-November 1510,[1] so that, assuming Vasari’s statement to be correct, Giorgione will have been born in 1477.[2]
