“A Proposal for the Concert Champêtre: Sebastiano?” in Venetian Painting Matters, 1450–1750, Jodi Cranston, ed. (Turnhout: Brepols, 2015), 35-56. (original) (raw)

The paper revisits the attribution debate surrounding Giorgione's painting, the Concert Champêtre, critically analyzing its stylistic characteristics and historical context. By contrasting Giorgione's interpretation and style with that of Titian, the study uncovers both consistent attributes and notable divergences that inform ongoing discussions about authorship. Key arguments arise from the painting's compositional elements, the impact of restoration on color perception, and the significance of radiographic analysis, ultimately questioning the prevailing attribution to Titian while reaffirming Giorgione's influence in Renaissance art.
