From November 5th, 2022 up to March 12th, 2023
At the
Accademia Galleries, in room 3, in these days we can admire a painting by
Giovanni Bellini on loan from the gallery of Castello Sforzesco in Milan: “
The Holy Mary with Baby Jesus”, better known as “
Madonna Trivulzio”.
It has been placed next to a work of art of the same subject by
Jacopo Bellini, Giovanni’s father: “
The Virgin Mary with Blessing Baby Christ”.
It is quinte interesting to notice how the two painters, although representing the same subject more or less in the same years, used completely
different styles: Jacopo’s manner follows the
late gothic tradition, whereas Giovanni shows clear
elements of the Renaissance period.
To get in better touch with the evolution of Giovanni’s style we can observe some more excellent masterpieces by this master, permanently preserved in this museum.
