Madonna del Prato — Giovanni Bellini

High Renaissance

What to look for

Giovanni Bellini: serene Madonnas and saints in soft, warm Venetian light and gentle landscapes, colour glowing rather than outlined.

Giovanni Bellini (c. 1430 – 29 December 1516) was an Italian Renaissance painter, probably the best known of the Bellini family of Venetian painters. He was raised in the household of Jacopo Bellini, formerly thought to have been his father, but now that familial generational relationship is questioned. Wikipedia
