Giovanni Bellini (233 words)
"Brother of Gentile and son of Jacopo, Giovanni Bellini was probably the greatest of the Bellini dynasty.
Bellini portrayed the elected ruler of Venice, the Doge Leonardo Loredan.
In this style of portraiture he was strongly influenced by a characteristic Flemish attention to detail and texture, especially the play of light on the surface of the subject.
Bellini - LoveToKnow 1911 (3267 words)
Jacopo Bellini (C. 1400-1470-71) was the son of a tinsmith or pewterer, Nicoletto Bellini, by his wife Franceschina.
In 1436 Jacopo was at Verona, painting a Crucifixion in fresco for the chapel of S. Nicholas in the cathedral (destroyed by order of the archbishop in 1750, but the composition, a vast one of many figures, has been preserved in an old engraving).
Jacopo (according to an almost contemporary sonneteer) competed with a rival portrait, which was declared by the father to be the better of the two.
