The small victories that get you through life. Holding down the daily high score on the Tempest machine at Ground Kontrol in Portland.
It was already in 1530 described simply as "the little landscape on canvas with a tempest, a gypsy woman and a soldier..."
This painting, the meaning of which has been greatly debated, marks a moment of capital importance in the renovation of the Venetian style painting, and perhaps is the most representative of the very few genuine surviving works of Giorgione.
The vigor of cultural life at the beginning of the sixteenth century provided exactly the right fertile ground for the personality of Giorgione. With Giovanni Bellini and Vittore Carpaccio as examples in his early training and with his attentive interest in Northern European painting of Belgium he soon decided to attempt a naturalistic language. Colour attains to new all-important powers of expression of the poetic equivalence of man and nature in a single, fearful apprehension of the cosmos. The finest of all expressions of this new vision of the world is the 'Tempest', commissioned from the artist by Gabriele Vendramin, one of the leading lights in intellectual circles in the Venice of the day, in whose house the picture was recorded as having been hung by Marcantonio Michiel in 1530.
The journey of loss, be it of material possessions, loved ones, health, or time, is undeniably challenging. Occasionally, we witness individuals who have endured great loss yet radiate happiness, but we remain unaware of the internal tempest they weathered to attain such clarity. Behind their apparent contentment may lie a profound inner struggle, a battle fought in the depths of their being.
