OCR: LIFE Giorgione's unfinished works, such as "Sleeping Venus," of about 1510 (Gemaldegalerie, Dresden). His first great painting is the "Assumption of the Virgin" (1518, Church of the Frari, Venice), typically sublime in mood, with upward-thrusting layers of figures. Three large mythologies painted in the next few years for the d'Estes of Ferrara show yet more brilliant use of color, and numerous statuesque figures suggest the influence of Classical art. By the 1530s, Titian's reputation was widespread. His Titian "Venus of Urbino" (1538, Uffizi, Florence), with its subtle nuances, was a significant development in the study of the nude.
