Sleeping Venus painting, one of the last works by Giorgione, portrays a nude
woman whose profile seems to follow that of the hills in the background.
Giorgione put a great deal of effort into painting the background details and
shadows. The choice of a nude woman marked a revolution in art, and is
considered by some authorities one of the starting points of modern art. The
painting was unfinished at the time of his death. The landscape and sky were
later finished by Titian, who later painted the similar Venus of Urbino.
