Analysis intro
Giovanni Bellini was an ideal Renaissance man because the work he produced exemplified some of the important Renaissance ideals. The ideals that his work showed are realism, individualism, and classicism. Realism shows true-to-life details, using perspective, texture, proportion, light, and color. Individualism shows the artist's unique style, sometimes as a portrait or self portrait, and often has a signature. Classicism draws upon ancient Greek and Roman art, architecture, and mythology. The works that Bellini did that show these major Renaissance values are Saint Francis in the Desert, Madonna of the Meadow, and The Feast of the Gods.
