"GIOVANNI BELLINI'S PIETÀ: STYLE AND SPIRIT"

BRIAN D. STEELE, Ph.D., associate professor of art history

“Giovanni Bellini’s Donà dalle Rose Pietà:  Style, Spirit, and Shades of Michelangelo(?)”

October 9, 2014 at 6:00 PM in Art B-01

Dr. Steele examines implications of Bellini’s iconography and spiritual approach embodied in his Pietà, c.1505.  Recent scholarship downplays potential reference to Michelangelo’s Vatican Pietà and stimulation of Dürer’s style.   Steele explores Bellini’s painting as a reaction against Michelangelo’s artfulness in employing North Italian “sacred naturalism” which asserts both reality and humanity in representing the Body of Christ situated as entry to a Venetian New Jerusalem.
