The aspects of a subject and a concept in the Giorgione’s "The Tempest" interpretations
Despite of almost 500 years of attempts to determine the subject of Giorgione’s “The Tempest” the specialists still fail to arrive to the common opinion about it. Yet there is no common trend in interpreting the painting. The article is dedicated to the analysis of several versions of reading this piece of art with due regard to the native and foreign traditions in art studies. There is a subdivision of those versions for “subject” type (S. Settis, E. Motzkin, M. Calvesi, N. Beloussova,) and for “concept” type (P. Vescovo, T. Sonina, Y. Yaylenko). Special attention is drawn to the authors’ methods and approaches (iconography, iconology, comparative analysis, research of historical and social context).
