Excerpt from Masters in Art, Vol. 1: A Series of Illustrated Monographs, Part 9, September, 1900, Giovanni BelliniThe first works of Giovanni Bellini were certain portraits from the life, which gave great satisfaction. At a later period Giovanni Bellini painted a picture for the altar of Santa Caterina of Siena, in the church of San Giovanni [destroyed by fire in 1867] and in the church of San Giobbe he painted a picture for the altar of that saint, of which the drawing is very good and the coloring beautiful.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
