- Résumé :
- La Tempesta (Venice, Gallerie dell'Accademia) remains a perennial riddle. Salvatore Settis catalogued 29 past solutions, adding his own (Adam, Eve, Cain). This paper explores a biblical source in Genesis 16, Hagar's flight from Sarai. Giorgione would present a tableau of Hagar suckling Ishmael by a spring in the wilderness on the road to Shur, under the watchful protection of the messenger angel, costumed as a Renaissance soldier with lance. (Absence of angels' wings is common in biblical texts and visual arts.) The bolt of lightning becomes a sign of God's power (Revelation and Psalms) and his covenant with Hagar and her offspring. ;
