rarely surpassed.” The pictures of Giovanni are very numerous in
Venice, and found in all large collections elsewhere. Space will not
allow description. The following are some of the more important
ones : National Gall., Nos. 726 and 280 ; No. 27, Correr Gall. ; No.
4, Lochis Carrara Gall., Bergamo; a “Pieta,” No. 188, in the Brera ;
“ Pietst” in the Cath. of Toledo, Stuttgart Mus., No. 4-; Beilin Mus.,
Nos. 4, 6, and 36; Padua Gall., No. 48 ; Uffizi, No. 581 ; Castle
Ho ward, No. 125 ; Leuchtenberg Gall., No. 68; Mus. of Rovigo,
No. 80 ; Doria Gall., Rome, No. 5-; Belvedere, Room 2, Nos. 63 and
65; Naples Mus., No. 378; Stadel Gall., Frankfort, No. 17; Madrid
Mus., No. 665; Brera, No. 209; Louvre, No. 69 bis; and many, many
others. His very last work was a “ Madonna ” in S. Giustina, Padua,
dated 1516. It is a singular truth that some of his latest pictures
are much more like those of a youthful artist than were his earlier
ones. For in 1514, almost at the close of his life, he painted a feast
of the gods, which represents the gay and sensual with the happiness
of the bright days of Titian. This picture is now at Alnwick Castle.
In 1515 he painted the “Venus of the Belvedere,” Room 2, No.
43 Plis last works were thus in marked contrast with his first.
He is believed to have instructed Giorgione and Titian. It is said
that Albert Diirer visited him in the last year of his life, and pro-
nounced him the best artist of that time. His death occurred on the
29th of November, and he was buried in SS. Giovanni e Paolo, by
the side of his brother Gentile.
Bellini, Filippo, born at Urbino, 1594. A good painter, and an
imitator of Federigo Baroccio. One of his most important works is
a series of fourteen representations of the Works of Charity, in the
Chiesa della Carita at Fabriano. In the Basilica of Loretto there is
a “ Circumcision,” and in the dome at Ancona a “ Marriage of the
Virgin,” by this master.
Bellini, Giacinto, Cavaliere, born at Bologna, was living in 1660.
Pupil of Francesco Albano. Later he studied with Francesco
Caracci in Rome. There he attracted the attention of Card. Tonti,
who employed him a long time, and procured him the knighthood of
the Order of Loretto. His pictures possess much of the gracefulness
of Albano.
Belliniano, Vittore, born at Venice. Flourished about 1526. A
painter of history. Several of his works are in the Confraternity of
5. Mark’s, and the neighboring churches of Venice.
Bellotti, Bernardo, born at Venice, 1724; died at Warsaw, 1780.
A painter and engraver. Nephew and pupil of Antonio Canal,
called Canaletto. Bellotti painted perspective and architectural views
in a pleasing manner. He lived much in Germany, and etched, from
his own designs, views of Vienna, Dresden, and Warsaw. He was
a member of the Acad, of Dresden, and many of his pictures are
in the Gall, of that city. They are called by the name of Canaletto,
