Delphi Complete Works of Giovanni Bellini (Illustrated)

Giovanni Bellini revolutionised Venetian painting, developing a more sensuous and colouristic style. Through his use of clear, slow-drying oil paints, Bellini created deep, rich tints and detailed shadings, producing sumptuous artworks that were significant to the Italian Renaissance, especially for his pupils Giorgione and Titian. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail.
