On the subject of Giorgione but unfortunately only of interest to those who live in or who can get to London easily, just been reading the preview of exhibition at the Royal Academy entitled In the Age of Giorgione which has attracted some amazing loans including more than a third of the 40 odd paintings that are (often controversially) attributed to Giorgione. According to the preview "the experimental exhibition offers a hall of mirrors. It seeks fleeting reflections of an all-but phantasmagoric master in the works of the many followers who were influenced by him. Among these are not only some of the greatest names - Titian, Lorenzo Lotto and Sebastiano del Piombo - but also little -known figures such as Giovanni Cariani, who will prove an exciting new discovery for many."
