Verified profile

the moment of Christ's transfiguration on Mount Tabor is represented in the presence of the prophets Moses and Elijah and the apostles Peter, James and John. With an original and modern interpretation, Giovanni Bellini immerses the event in a natural space that becomes an integral part of the scene, losing the role of pure background typical of many fifteenth-century representations. The evident study of natural rendering is accentuated by the choice of inserting the figure of Christ, who emanates light, on the same level as the prophets but, fundamentally, of depicting him as a man among men, firmly stable, with his feet resting on the ground. The depth of field is suggested by the different levels on which the composition is structured: the rocky ridge, the three frightened apostles, the characters standing on the edge of the hill behind which a series of low hills follow one another defined by ever-changing tones. of green.
