GIORGIONE, IL, born at Castelfranco about 1477, died at Venice in 1511. Venetian school. Real name Giorgio Barbarelli; pupil of Giovanni Bellini and fellow-*pupil of Titian, who afterwards became his (Giorgione's) pupil. Of his life nothing is known, save that it was passed at Venice and Castelfranco, in which latter place the house where he was born, now called Casa Pellizzari, contains remains of his decorative frescos. Giorgione decorated the exterior of many houses and palaces at Venice with frescos now effaced; his oil paintings, owing to the shortness of his life, are comparatively few. He treated subjects of the class introduced by Bellini, such as allegories, legendary episodes, and bacchanals, in which figures are set off by landscape with the happiest effect, and painted many splendid portraits. His works are conspicuous for rich and brilliant colour, for breadth and nobility of style, and for a poetical, sensuous charm which fascinates and delights the beholder.
