Hesiod's Theogony as Source of the Iconological Program of Giorgione's "Tempesta": The Poet, Amalthea, the Infant Zeus and the Muses - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book explains how Giorgione’s famous picture shows the shepherd Hesiod undergoing his famous vision in which the Muses told him of his poetic mission; on the right the infant Zeus held by his nurse Amalthea one year after being rescued from being devoured by his father Cronus; and the altar of two columns erected by Zeus to commemorate his victory over Cronus, corresponding to his own altar with two columns in his birthplace Lyktos. The lightening is, of course, the attribute of Zeus. The muses are not seen, since Hesiod says they are ‘invisible’, but he often mentions their nine houses, shown in the painting.

About the Author
Ursula Kirkendale received her PhD in historical musicology in Bonn and taught at four important American universities, until, in 1971, after only one semester at Columbia University, a speech impairment (ictus) terminated her teaching, but not her research, highly acclaimed internationally, on Caldara, Handel and Bach.

Condition: NUOVO. Firenze, Olschki Ed. cm 15 x 21, iv-102 pp. con 7 ill. f.t. di cui 6 a colori. Rilegato (Hardcover)., legatura ed. Pocket Library of Studies in Art,41. Testo in Inglese. Giorgione's Tempesta has been the most discussed enigma in the history of art, with over fifty different interpretations, based largely on ancient literary sources which were compared, unconvincingly, with very few elements of the painting. Hesiod's Theogony, well known in Venice when the painting was made, explains all of them, for the artist translated the poet's words literally into visual images, showing the shepherd Hesiod during the vision in which the muses consign to him a poetic mission; the infant Zeus held by his nurse Almathea one year after being rescued from being devoured by his father Cronus; and the altar of two columns erected by Zeus to commemorate his victory over Cronus, corresponding to his own altar with two columns in his birthplace Lyktos. The lightening is, of course, the attribute of Zeus. The muses are not seen, since Hesiod says they are 'invisible', but he often mentions their nine houses, shown in the painting.

Cartonato. Condition: new. English Text.Firenze, 2015; hardback, pp. IV-102, ill., cm 14,5x21,5.(Pocket Library of Studies in Art. 41). La "Tempesta" di Giorgione ha rappresentato il più discussso emigma nella storia dell'arte, con oltre cinquanta differenti interpretazioni principalmente basate su antiche fonti letterarie che sono state confrontate in modo poco convincente - con pochissimi elementi del dipinto. La Teogonia di Esiodo, ben conosciuta Venezia quando fu fatto il dipinto, li spiega più o meno tutti - animati e inanimati - avendo l'artista tradotto alla lettera le parole del poeta in immagini visuali.
