Italian High Renaissance Painter, ca.1430-1516 Giovanni Bellini (c. 1430 ?C 1516) was an Italian Renaissance painter, probably the best known of the Bellini family of Venetian painters. His father was Jacopo Bellini, his brother was Gentile Bellini, and his brother-in-law was Andrea Mantegna. He is considered to have revolutionized Venetian painting, moving it towards a more sensuous and colouristic style. Through the use of clear, slow-drying oil paints, Giovanni created deep, rich tints and detailed shadings. His sumptuous coloring and fluent, atmospheric landscapes had a great effect on the Venetian painting school, especially on his pupils Giorgione and Titian.  Related Paintings of BELLINI, Giovanni :. | Madonna with the Child (Greek Madonna) | Dead Christ Supported by the Madonna and St John (Pieta) fd | Head of the Baptist 223 | Presentation at the Temple yrfuy | Angel Announcing and Virgin Announciated uiol |
