Artist Gentile Bellini (1429 - 1507) | Italian Painter | WAA

Gentile Bellini was born circa 1429, died 23 February 1507. He was an Italian painter of the school of Venice. He came from Venice's leading family of painters, and at least in the early part of his career was more highly regarded than his younger brother Giovanni Bellini, the reverse of the case today. From 1474 he was the official portrait artist for the Doges of Venice, and as well as his portraits he painted a number of very large subjects with multitudes of figures, especially for the Scuole Grandi of Venice, wealthy confraternities that were very important in Venetian patrician social life. #GentileBellini --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Us : +91 9840 607646 @whatsapp --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advertising Partner: Are you interested to learn drawing and painting professionally ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
