The story of The Sunset (Il Tramonto)
The picture is an oil on canvas now in the National Gallery, London, which acquired it in 1961. It probably marks the end of the 1504 plague in the Veneto, which would explain the prominent Saint Roch. Saint George and the dragon were repainted in the 1930s restoration and a monster in the lake was added in the 1960s to cover earlier damage.

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.
