- More about Giorgione's Ambiguity
Giorgione's mysterious and alluring paintings, such as "The Three Philosophers" and "The Tempest," were essential to his sensual approach and made the world and its meanings appear inscrutable.

The Venetian painter Giorgione, also known as "big George," tragically passed away at a young age during the devastating plague of 1510, leaving behind a legacy of only around 25 paintings. However, these few works are among the most enigmatic and captivating in the history of art. Paintings like "The Three Philosophers" and "The Tempest" continue to captivate and perplex viewers, resisting any attempt to fully interpret their meanings. Tom Nichols argues that this visual elusiveness was a crucial aspect of Giorgione's sensual approach, and ambiguity is a defining characteristic of his art. Through a thorough examination of all of Giorgione's works, Nichols demonstrates how the artist's rejection of the more intellectual tendencies of much Renaissance art resulted in a world and its meanings that appeared ever more inscrutable.
