| book description |

Following the arc of Belliniâ€™s career, from his early devotional paintings to his later, occasionally secular works, this book offers an in-depth appreciation of the Venetian master who dominated the Early Renaissance. Featuring nearly every extant Bellini work, as well as those of his contemporaries, this book brims with gorgeous Renaissance art. Author Johannes Grave focuses on some of the artistâ€™s greatest works including Allegoria Sacra, the Brera PietÃ , and the altarpiece of San Giobbeâ€”to explore how Bellini excelled in tempera before mastering oil painting. Grave discusses how Belliniâ€™s precise lines, his delicate facial expressions, and the subtle effects of light and shadow were used in his religious paintings as well as his portraiture and late mythological depictions. This book examines Belliniâ€™s life, including his complex relationships with his father Jacopo, his brother Gentile, and his brother-in-law Andrea Mantegna. It considers the original contexts of Belliniâ€™s works, and elucidates the ways in which these paintings were meant to be perceived. The book also links Belliniâ€™s devotional paintings with the poetic creations of his pupil Giorgione. An important contribution to the scholarship of Renaissance art, this masterful book reaffirms Belliniâ€™s status as one of Veniceâ€™s greatest painters.
