Dear friends, here is yet another religious master work by Giovanni Bellini - this time an altar piece that he did on canvas, actually one of several during his lifetime. Note: Visit here for an erudite's comment on this extraordinary work.

Like virtually all of the Renaissance masters, Giovanni Bellini seems to have moved very confortably from religious themes to mythological ones passing by nude painting. Here is a beautiful example of the latter.

Also in the mythological theme he seems to have felt most comfortable, with satyrs and other fabulous characters painted in all verosymilitude. Here is his most famed Feast of the Gods of 1514.
