mar 1, 1450 - Saint Jerome Giovanni Bellini

Description:

- ↳ early work by Giovanni Bellini
- ↳ glowing use of colour and a new feeling for landscape.
- Comparação com: Andrea Mantegna, Saint Jerome Penintent in the Desert, c. 1448- 1451
- ↳ differences and analogies between them
- ↳ If we consider that they were born at the same time we can see a dialogo alla pari here
- Mantegna: more use of perspective and its tools → we have the perception that he is trying to
make the viewers look first at the foregounds with this zig zag movement → he has a
structure in mind
- In Bellini you feel that the eyes go more freely in the composition, without obstacles→ open,
less constrained → opening of the landscape
- People who said that Mantegna was 10 years older would say he was già formato in
perspective and so he could not abandon this impostazione → Bellini being younger (in this
theory) could go beyond this notion
- The supporters of the idea that they had the same age see here 2 different personalities and
different interests in the use of perspective
