This Companion brings together commissioned essays focusing on important topics and themes of the career of Giovanni Bellini, the dominant painter of Early Renaissance Venice. The contributions consider Bellini's position in the social and professional life of early modern Venice, and reassess his artistic relationships with his brother-in-law Mantegna, Flemish painting, and the "modern style" that emerged in Italy around 1500. They also explore his original approaches to sculpture and architecture, and landscape and color.

Reviews & endorsements
"...highly recommended..." Times Literary Supplement
See more reviews"The scholarly approaches range from broad social history to detailed investigations of technique; it is impossible to treat them all in detail here, but they are of exceptional quality and interest...the book is also useful for its treatment of the historiography of the artist by tracing key issues in Bellini scholarship and his shifting critical fortunes. All the authors are sensitive to the book's dual audience of specialists and students." CAA Reviews, Maria Ruvoldt
