La Virgen y el Niño

late 1480s
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 606
Emparentado con una familia de famosos artistas entre los que figuraban su padre Jacopo y su hermano Gentile, Giovanni Bellini ocupó durante toda su vida un lugar preeminente entre los pintores venecianos. Sus pequeños paneles devocionales demuestran un gran talento para combinar el sentimiento religioso con el naturalismo y la estética del Quattrocento. Como detalle singular, la cortina que cuelga detrás de las figuras está corrida, revelando un paisaje lejano cuya luz y atmósfera prefiguran las obras de Giorgione y Tiziano. La mirada del espectador es atraída desde el primer plano desértico hacia el fondo floreciente, en una alegoría del pasaje de la muerte a la resurrección.
