Book Description Softcover. Purple wraps with bw illustration on front cover, white and black lettering, xi, 189 pp, illustrated throughout in bw. "The Tempest is Giorgione's most enigmatic painting. Is it a depiction of Giorgione's own family, of the "family of man," of a tale from Boccaccio, or of the myth of Apollo's birth? In this remarkable study, Salvatore Settis uses the mystery of the painting to shed light on the relationship between artist, patron, work, and critic.
