Five centuries ago, this small cabinet painting revolutionised Western art, even though — or precisely because — no one had a clue what it was supposed to depict.

Who are those people? Where are they? And why are they lounging around, half-naked and ostensibly unbothered, mere moments before the onset of a storm — far from the protective confines of the walled city in the background?

This mystery has baffled researchers and critics for five hundred years and counting. Here’s what we (think) we know so far and what makes The Tempest one of the most influential paintings in the history of art.

[ma-pi-ma]

Poté l’amore di Michele Agnolo e la fatica insieme in questa opera tanto, che quivi quello che in altra opera piú non fece lasciò il suo nome scritto a traverso una cintola che il petto della Nostra Donna soccigne, come di cosa nella quale e sodisfatto e compiaciuto s’era per se medesimo. Laonde egli n’acquistò grandissima fama. E se bene alcuni, anzi goffi che no, dicono che egli abbia fatto la Nostra Donna troppo giovane, non s’accorgono e non sanno eglino che le persone vergini senza essere contaminate si mantengono e conservano l’aria de ‘l viso loro gran tempo, senza alcuna macchia, e che gli afflitti come fu Cristo fanno il contrario? Onde tal cosa accrebbe assai piú gloria e fama alla virtú sua che tutte l’altre dinanzi.

Giorgio Vasari
