The story of The Old Woman (La Vecchia)
The oil on canvas dates from about 1506 and is an allegory of old age and passing time. A 1569 inventory called it 'Giorgione's mother, by Giorgione'. Scholars have linked it with Dürer's Avarice of 1507, and it is still in its original frame.

Giorgione
Giorgio Barbarelli da Castelfranco, known as Giorgione, was an Italian painter of the Venetian school during the High Renaissance, who died in his thirties. He is known for the elusive poetic quality of his work, though only about six surviving paintings are firmly attributed to him. The uncertainty surrounding the identity and meaning of his work has made Giorgione one of the most mysterious figures in European art.
