Cima has a sweet and gentle altar-piece depicting the Baptist and two saints, and Bellini's "Madonna and Child" is rich and warm and human. Even the aged and very rickety sacristan too tottering perhaps for any reader of the book to have the chance of seeing was moved by Bellini. "Bellissima!" he said again and again, taking snuff the while.
GIOVANNI BELLINI was born in 1428 or 1430 and lived to 1516. Albert Dürer, writing from Venice in 1506, says that "he is very old, but is still the best in painting." The greater number of Bellini's pictures are to be found in the galleries and churches in Venice, all of those which are dated being the work of his old age.
Gentle, kindly, untouched by flattery.... Why, you must have seen and heard her!" "I have." Courtlandt stared into the hole he had dug. "Voice like an angel's, with a face like Bellini's donna; and Irish all over. But for all that, you will find that her disappearance will turn out to be a diva's whim. Hang it, Suds, I've had some experience with singers."
He himself confesses that 'if any one should compare this score with that of "Die Feen" he would find it difficult to understand how such a complete change in my tendencies could have been brought about in so short a time. The incident which turned his thoughts into this new channel was a performance of Bellini's 'Capuletti e Montecchi, in which Madame Schroeder-Devrient sang the part of Romeo.
Most poets say so; but we cannot always agree with most poets. To us memory comes in quite different forms, all according to that land, or that town to which she belongs. Italy sends her as a charming Mignon, with black eyes and a melancholy smile, singing Bellini's soft, touching songs.
The miracle of that year was the healing of a youth who had been fatally injured in the head; his father may be seen kneeling just behind the relic. The next most noticeable picture, also Gentile Bellini's, records a miracle of 1500. The procession was on its way to S. Lorenzo, near the Arsenal, from the Piazza, when the sacred emblem fell into the canal.
A noble church The tomb of Titian A painter-prince A lost garden Pomp and colour A ceaseless learner Canova Bellini's altar-piece The Pesaro Madonna The Frari cat Tombs vulgar and otherwise Francesco Foscari Niccolò Tron's beard. From S. Rocco to the Frari is but a step, and plenty of assistance in taking that step will be offered you by small boys.
Adalgisa pleads with her not to abandon Pollione, who will return to her repentant; and the most effective number in the opera ensues, the grand duet containing two of Bellini's most beautiful inspirations, the "Deh! con te li prendi," and the familiar "Mira, O Norma," whose strains have gone round the world and awakened universal delight.
All things must be crossed a little or they would cease to live but holy things, such for example as Giovanni Bellini's saints, have been crossed with nothing but what is good of its kind, The storm which I have described in the previous chapter was a sample of those that occurred daily for many years.
Other pupils of Giovanni Bellini, beside Giorgione and Titian, are found here Palma Vecchio for instance in a poor picture of Judith with the Head of Holofernes ; Rondinelli in a Portrait of a Man and a Madonna and two Saints ; Sebastiano del Piombo in the Farnesina , long given to Raphael, and the Death of Adonis . All these men, whose work is so full of splendour, came under the influence of Giorgione after passing through Bellini's bottega.
