Nativity Triptych
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. 1460-64

1460s Oil on oak panel, 140 x 193 cm (central panel, 89 x 43 cm (each wing) Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York This free copy of Rogier van der Weyden's Middelburg Altarpiece (Staatliche Museen, Berlin) derives not from the completed work itself but from Rogier's sketched design for it, which included the inscription scrolls that were later left out. The anonymous painter must either have seen these sketches and other models in Rogier's workshop, or copied them from material left on his death; the quality of the triptych, however, is not good enough to make it a product of Rogier's workshop.Artist:UNKNOWN MASTER, Flemish Title: Nativity Triptych Painted in 1451-1500 , Flemish - - painting : religious
