Description: | Giovanni Bellini was the first Venetian artist to replace the style of the mediaeval painters with an art based on the beauty of natural shapes and colours. The painting's special feature, the Child playing with a flower on a string, demonstrates this new tender realism in interpreting the relationship between the Mother of God and her Child. Despite the scratched blue of the coat the picture is of the highest quality and its origin from the great master of the Venetian Renaissance Giovanni Bellini cannot be doubted. | Subjects: | figure; religion (Virgin and Child) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bellini, Giovanni (Italian painter, born 1431-1436, died 1516) Æ Attributed to Attributed to Bellini, Giovanni (Italian painter, born 1431-1436, died 1516) and studio Previously attributed to Pasqualino Venuto (Italian painter, active from 1496, died 1504) Previously attributed to Perino del Vaga (Italian painter, decorative artist, and draftsman, 1501-1547) Previously attributed to Rondinelli, Nicolò (Italian painter, ca.1450-ca.1510) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8755... | Go to resource |
