Giovanni Bellini known as Giambellino was an Italian painter of the Republic of Venice, one of the most famous artists of the Renaissance.
He worked continuously for sixty years, always at the highest levels, guiding Venetian painting, which in him had a fundamental point of reference, through the most diverse experiences, from the Byzantine tradition to the Paduan ways filtered by Andrea Mantegna, from the lessons of Piero della Francesca, Antonello da Messina and Albrecht Dürer, up to Giorgione's tonalism. In his works Bellini was able to welcome all these stimuli by constantly renewing himself, but without ever betraying the link with his own tradition, enhancing it and making it a strong point.
