Giovanni Bellini

The first publication of this volume since 1901. Highly popular at the time of its original publication, Fry's monograph was instrumental in rescuing the 15th-century Italian artist Bellini from the oblivion of a Victorian-era reputation by reinterpreting & revaluing his art for an early 20th-century audience. Giving a succinct but definitive view of Bellini's career, Fry not only brought to bear the new scientificÓ connoisseurship in his analysis of individual pictures & their chronology, but he also brought a keen interest into Bellini's innovative use of semi-transparent oil glazes, the psychological depth of his subjects, & Bellini's profound sensitivity to nature. Includes 24 pages of Bellini's paintings.Fry, Roger is the author of 'Giovanni Bellini', published 2002 under ISBN 9780756755430 and ISBN 0756755433.
