The Bellinis were an artistic family; his father Jacopo, was a painter along with his brother-in-law, Andrea Mantenga, and his older brother, Gentile. This background helped to pave the way for Giovanni as he greatly surpassed his relatives in his artistic career. Bellini\u2019s most notable artwork features masterful use of sensuous colors and his studies in perspective and landscapes. While at the start of his art-making practice, he drew inspiration from the bible and used tempera, he transitioned later in his life to natural scenes in oil paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/natashalee2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11637\/2020\/10\/xAgony-in-the-Garden-wood-Giovanni-Bellini-1024x645.jpg.pagespeed.ic.Te8-m2QEeT.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-178\" \/><figcaption>The Agony In The Garden- completed in 1465<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of his most famous paintings, The Agony In The Garden, depicting Christ praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, clearly shows his mastery of perspective, foreshortening and an incredible sense of colour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/natashalee2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11637\/2020\/10\/x1557136054989650-21-bellini-1024x630.jpg.pagespeed.ic.tpisGAkveI.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-179\" \/><figcaption>Holy Allegory- completed in 1499<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>His painting, the Holy Allegory, caught my attention while I was researching this artist. The depth captured in this landscape is impressive, but even more, the precision of the geometric terrace in the foreground astounded me.
