The Tempest
People love to talk about The Tempest by Italian Master Giorgione. There are a few reasons behind its appeal. Of course, it’s gorgeous and portrays a fantasy with expertise. It’s mysterious. Those are obvious answers. Women didn’t breastfeed nude outside in the early 1500’s. Controversy noted.
But there’s also binary imagery and composition throughout this painting. Two of everything with few exceptions. That makes it easy to categorize and discuss. People are comfortable with pairs: new and old, male and female, urban and rural, etc. So, The Tempest’s a frequent discussion target.
