Title : The Memoirs of Giorgione - Claude Chevreuil - book
Summary :
In September 1510, struck down at the height of his glory by the plague that was ravaging Venice, Giorgio da Castelfranco, known as Gorgione, returned to die in his native village. To his favorite student, he wrote a long letter in which he told everything about his life and his art. A solitary childhood on his parents' farm; entry into Bellini's Venetian studio; years of initiation into pictorial techniques, but also into music, books, love... And then he took flight, creating his own studio, and entering high society. We meet Dürer, Leonardo, Titian, his future rival. Venice, its splendors, its great families, its people, its courtesans form the backdrop for these abundant Memoirs, which shed light on artistic creation from the inside, and take us through new avenues into one of the most mysterious works of the Italian Renaissance.
