Already in the Middle Ages, urbanisation in Italy was well advanced. Dogen determined life in the city and were often patrons of the arts. It was not surprising that a competition and race for the prestige of artistic development broke out among the cities. While Florence was under the influence of Leonardo da Vinci, Venice developed its own current of art. While painting has always been characterized by a special love of light and color, Flemish painters brought new impulses to the water city.
Giorgione of Castelfranco was impressed by the art of Leonardo. Particularly the painting with oil, which had a special lightness with Leonardo, appeared to Giorgione over the entire creative period as worth copying. At the same time he was Venetian and the art in Venice was dominated by the painter Bellini the founder of the Venetian school. Castelfranco succeeded in creating a symbiosis between the different currents and achieved fame with expressive portraits and atmospheric landscape paintings. Contemporaries of the artist said that Giorgione was only born to breathe spirit into the figures of the paintings. Giorgione is described as an artist with an irrepressible zest for life, never averse to flirting and a welcome guest at festivities. Excellent manners and charisma enabled the artist to enter the stately homes of the city. An esprit of his own was transferred to Giorgione's works. The painter was not satisfied with mediocre motifs. He sought the beauty of nature and captured the perfect moments. He developed Leonardo's approach of the shadows further and created soft transitions. In the painting Judith with the head of Holofernes, the drapery of the robe is particularly impressive in addition to the landscape. Despite the religious theme, the details show a great liveliness and love of depiction.
There was a great discrepancy among Italian artists. On the one hand there were the sculptors and on the other hand the painters. The sculptors claimed dimensionality for themselves. They claimed that only a sculpture could be viewed from all sides. Giorgione argued against that. He claimed to be able to capture all perspectives in a painting without changing the viewer's position. To prove this, he painted a naked man whose face was reflected in a river. His left profile was shown in a golden breastplate and his right side was shown in a mirror. The posed scene shows the painter's humour. He showed that a view into nature could be depicted in a painting with as many perspectives as in sculpture. Giorgio of Castelfranco left numerous traces in and around Venice. He painted frescos on house walls, created portraits and captured nature. His paintings were in demand far beyond the city limits of Venice. Unfortunately, the plague put an end to the promising and unique work. Giorgio's last painting was finished by Tizian.
