Organised in connection with the Royal Academy鈥檚 exhibition 鈥業n the Age of Giorgione鈥, this study day will focus on the revolution that took place in Venetian art in the early sixteenth century when a new type of painting was developed by the elusive artist, Giorgione.听 Although Giovanni Bellini remained the preeminent Venetian painter until his death in 1516, the technical and stylistic innovations introduced by Giorgione, prior to his premature demise in 1510, had a profound influence on a younger generation artists, led by Titian and Sebastiano del Piombo.听 Papers will consider the new genres, including pastoral landscapes and allegorical portraits, that accompanied the new style of painting.听 Aspects of the literary, social, and artistic milieu that engendered the innovations associated with Giorgionesque works will also be examined.听听A keynote address by Nicholas Penny in the Kenneth Clark Lecture Theatre will conclude the day鈥檚 proceedings.
