A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'The Cambridge Companion to Giovanni Bellini is highly recommended to anyone interested in Venetian Renaissance painting.' The Times Literary Supplement

'... the Cambridge Companion to Bellini provides a highly informative and illuminating view of many aspects of the artist's work and career. While more traditional topics and well-trodden ground are shown in a new light, areas for which there is little remaining documentation are handled skilfully ...' The Art Book

'Peter Humfrey has admirably succeeded in matching authors with topics ... the Bellini Companion volume points to a remarkable resurgence of interest in an artist about whom much still remains to be said.' Burlington Magazine

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This Companion volume brings together commissioned essays by an international team of scholars on Giovanni Bellini, the dominant painter of Early Renaissance Venice. Among the topics and themes to be discussed are Bellini's position in the social and professional life of early modern Venice; his artistic relationships with his brother-in-law Mantegna, with Flemish painting, and with the 'modern style' that emerged in Italy around 1500; and the connections between Bellini's paintings and the sister arts of architecture and sculpture. Further essays reassess the artist's approaches to landscape and color, elements that have always been recognized as central to his pictorial genius.
