Giorgione (c. 1477 Castelfranco, Veneto-1510 Venice), born Giorgio da Cstelfranco and also known as Giorgio Barbarelli, was an important painter of the Venetian High Renaissance. He was probably trained along with his younger friend Titian in the workshop of Giovanni Bellini. There Giorgione developed his own influential style in the painting tradition of Vittorio Carpaccio, Antonello da Messina, and Leonardo da Vinci. as well as of the Dutch painters. He increasingly rejected the use of contour lines to regulate color transitions, thereby emphasizing the true appearance of things. This allowed him to represent figures freely moving in space, as well as the atmospheric effects of landscapes. Among the artist's major works are The judgement of Solomon, c. 1500, Galeria degli Uffizi, Florence; The Three Philosphers, c. 1505, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna; and Portrait of a Woman (Laura), 1506, Kunsthistrosches Museum, Vienna.
