Das Konzert (nach Giorgione),

The original painting has been seen as a portrait of a group of Flemish musicians, as an allegory of music and as a depiction of the three ages of human life. In the nineteenth century it was considered a major work by Giorgione, but current opinion favours an attribution to the young Titian. In 1855 Jacob Burckhardt noted of the picture: ‘Especially stimulating in relation to speculation about the intellectual origins of such paintings; uses very little to produce an effect of unfathomable depth.’
