About this book
Sparse records and disputed paintings shape Herbert Frederick Cook's attempt to understand Giorgione. He approaches the artist through documents, earlier criticism and his own repeated study of pictures in galleries and churches. First published in 1900, this study appears here in a revised 1904 edition, with additional material on the age of Titian. Its chapters move from the painter's life around Venice to accepted works, proposed additions and his place in art history.
Cook makes the process of attribution visible. In discussing portraits, he compares expressions, poses, sleeves, colour and the handling of light, then weighs competing opinions about the same canvas. The Vienna portrait known as Physician Parma provides a detailed example of that debate.
