GIovANNI BELLINI (143014311516) is generally assumed to have been the second son of Jacopo by his wife Anna; though the fact that she does net mention him in her will with her other sons has thrown some slight doubt upon the matter.
Of Giovannis activity in the interval between the altar-pieces of San Giobbe and of Murano and that of San Zaccania, there are a few minor evidences left, though the great mass of its results perished with the fire of the ducal palace in 1577.
Bellini painted this altarpiece for the sacristy in the Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, one of the greatest churches of Venice.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bellini
Giovanni preferred half-length figures even when a number of saints were grouped together; as, for example, in the pictures which represent Mary Magdalen and St. Catherine, or St. Paul and St. George, in company with the Madonna.
Giovanni did not attempt to solve, even in his larger works, such difficult problems of perspective and of the gradation of light and shade as his brother undertook.
Giovanni continued to learn even when he was old, although he was properly more often the teacher and never obscured his own individuality of style.

It was thanks to Giovanni Bellini that the Venetian school of painting was transformed during the later 15th century from one mainly of local significance to one with an international reputation.

With the transition to oil Bellini lost much of his severe style, though he retained his most identifying and lasting characteristic that is, his attention to, to the point of obsession with, the portrayal of natural light.
Bellini expertly portrayed the elected ruler of Venice, the Doge Leonardo Loredan in portraiture.
Bellini brought a new face to landscape, integrated principals of light and color on a monumental scale, fused earlier cannons of art with revolutionary technique, and up until his death, held the position of the primary painter of Venice, thwarting usurps from the younger generation of artists.

 Ruskin MP I Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Giovanni Bellini, ?1431-1516, Venetian painter, was the brother of Gentile Bellini.
As far as Vasari was concerned, the fact that Giovanni Bellini had not studied the art of the ancients led to a 'hard, dry and laboured style'.
For Ruskin on Giovanni Bellinim, as for Reynolds, he is the last of the artists of the old style - a definitive pre-Raphaelite, perhaps - but for Ruskin, though not for Reynolds, the change which followed was a change for the worse

Giovanni spent his childhood working as an apprentice in the very successful workshop of his father Jacopo, during the years when the decoration of St. Mark's Basilica was in full swing.
Giovanni was deeply impressed by his brother-in-law's evolutionary work, just as he was later amazed by the ability of Piero della Francesca and Antonello da Messina to place groups of people within complex three-dimensional settings, something that had been virtually unknown just a few years before.
By the time Titian was starting his career, the elderly Bellini was breaking new ground again by adding mythological and allegorical scenes to the religious ones that had dominated the art of the fifteenth century.

 Giovanni Bellini - Allegory Of Purgatory
As one cannot enjoy Dante's poetry to the full without learning some of his basic hidden meanings, so an understanding of pictorial symbolism can be made to enrich one's total enjoyment of pictures where it plays an important role.
Without attempting to explain the meanings of Bellini's Allegory in detail, we may notice it as an example of how symbolism can be woven into design.
The same symbols could be mere dead hieroglyphics, but here they are built into a complex, visible world of solid forms in deep space, capable of giving, as one looks, the mystic illusion that one is actually present in that strange twilight limbo of waiting souls called Purgatory.

 Haber's Art Reviews: Nature, Artifice, and Giovanni Bellini's Sunlight
Bellini has somehow encompassed both the ecstasy that was held to accompany the stigmata and the solitude and community with nature of a life spent in contemplation.
To ask how Bellini could combine the richness and austerity of the saint's legend is to look for the subject of the painting, and art historians cannot agree on one.
Bellini's innovations take the naturalism of these features as one pole, the figure as another.

After the deaths of Giorgione and of Giovanni Bellini, Titian was established as the finest painter in Venice.
The first is marked by the strong influence of Giovanni Bellini and Giorgione, exemplified in the so-called Sacred and Profane Love (c.1513; Borghese Gall., Rome) and in the Madonna of the Cherries (c.1515; Vienna).
