Description: Reunites two masterpieces after more than four centuries apart, affording a re-examination of their joint history. The Three Philosophers by Giorgione (Italian, 1477-1510) in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna and St. Francis in the Desert by Giovanni Bellini (ca. 1424/35-1516) in The Frick Collection, New York, are two of the most celebrated paintings of the Venetian Renaissance. Between at least 1525 and 1556 documentation exists to suggest that the two paintings were displayed together in the same house in Venice, the palazzo of Taddeo Contarini (ca. 1466-1540), a member of one of Venice's wealthiest patrician families. For the first time in more than four hundred years, these two masterpieces will be reunited. Accompanying a major exhibition at the Frick this book explores the origins of the paintings and re-evaluates their histories in the collection of Taddeo Contarini.
