But many of these are among the most mysterious and alluring in the history of art. Paintings such as \u003ci\u003eThe Three Philosophers\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e remain compellingly elusive, seeming to deny the viewer the possibility of interpreting their meaning. Tom Nichols argues that this visual elusiveness was essential to Giorgione's sensual approach and that ambiguity is the defining quality of his art. Through detailed discussions of all Giorgione's works, Nichols shows that by abandoning the more intellectual tendencies of much Renaissance art, Giorgione made the world and its meanings appear always more inscrutable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Nichols\u003c\/b\u003e is a reader in art history at the University of Glasgow.
