BELLINI, Giovanni (b. ca. 1426, Venezia, d. 1516, Venezia) Head of the Redeemer 1500-02 Oil on panel, 33 x 22 cm Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice This is a fragment of an altarpiece depicting the Transfiguration. Another fragment of the same work, in the same museum, shows a scroll which bears the writing "IOANNES BELLINUS ME PINXIT". Uniting light and shade, the head of Christ stretches upwards in ecstasy, conscious of his dual nature, human and divine, a symbol of the idealized message of the artist. --- Keywords: -------------- Author: BELLINI, Giovanni Title: Head
