Although he died in his thirties, Giorgione left a lasting legacy to be developed by Titian and 17th-century artists. Giorgione never subordinated line and colour to architecture, nor an artistic effect to a sentimental presentation. Yet, Vasari wrote, "[Giorgioni] studied drawing [''disegno''] and relished it. And in this [i.e., ''disegno''] nature favored him so highly, that he ... acquired the name ... of having surpassed Giovanni and Gentile Bellini.... Titian, then, having seen the method and manner of Giorgione, abandoned the manner Giambellino [i.e., Giovanni Bellini] ... and attached himself to that [of Giorgione]...."<ref>Quoted in Giulio Dalvit and [[Elizabeth Peyton]], ''Titian's Man in a Red Hat'', New York: The [[Frick Collection]]. 2022, pp. 46, 48.</ref>

Giorgioni was arguably the first Italian to paint landscapes with figures as movable pictures in their own frames with no devotional, allegorical, or historical purpose—and the first whose colours possessed that ardent, glowing, and melting intensity which was so soon to typify the work of all the [[Venetian school (art)|Venetian School]].
