"He is the inventor of genre, of those easily movable pictures which serve neither for uses of devotion, nor of allegorical or historical teaching ... morsels of actual life, conversation or music or play, but refined upon or idealized, till they come to seem like glimpses of life from afar." --Walter Pater, "The School of Giorgione", The Renaissance: Studies in Art & Poetry (1913)
