Giorgione

Giorgione, also known as Giorgio or Giorgone de Castelfranco, was a male painter and visual artist from the Republic of Venice. Born in Castelfranco Veneto, he worked in both Castelfranco Veneto and Venice. He was a student of Giovanni Bellini and is associated with the High Renaissance, the Renaissance, and the Venetian school. His artistic output included history painting, portraits, landscape painting, and religious art.

Giorgione died in Venice in 1510 due to the plague, a natural cause. His notable works include *Laura*, *The Three Philosophers*, *The Tempest*, and a *Self-portrait*. Descriptions of his life and work appear in sources such as *Teutsche Academie der Edlen Bau- Bild- und Mahlerey-Künste*, *Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects*, *Schilder-boeck*, and the *Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary*.
