ZORZI DA CASTELFRANCO DIED 500 YEARS AGO THIS YEAR

Struck down by plague at the height of his powers. Master of two supremely talented pupils Titian

and Sebastiano del Piombo. A brilliant innovator whose reputation had spread throughout

Italy and beyond. A prolific genius, creator of many religious works, secular and

state portraits, erotic scenes, very large canvases for the Venetian

Scuola, frescoes and mysterious intimate landscapes. 500 YEARS

ON HE HAS ALL BUT DISAPPEARED. Now he has just a few

pictures left and the critics say he is

mythic, enigmatic, mysterious,

shadowy, obscure,

lost
