Free Virtual Talk | Mantegna and Bellini: Relatives and Rivals

Image for Free Virtual Talk | Mantegna and Bellini: Relatives and Rivals

Join us for this lively tale of relatives and rivals.

Andrea Mantegna (1431-1506) and Giovanni Bellini (around 1435-1516) were two major painters of the Renaissance period. From very different backgrounds, they became in-laws in 1453 when Mantegna married Bellini's sister, Nicolosia. In this online docent-led talk, we'll examine their two different ways of working which, 500 years ago in Northern Italy, paved the way for modern art. It's a tale of two artists and brothers-in-law that weaves a story of art, family, rivalry, and personality. These two brothers-in-law took very different artistic paths.

Join us LIVE for our semi-monthly docent-led virtual talk inspired by the Timken Collection of European old masters, American art, and Russian icons. Every 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month at 11:00 AM Pacific, we'll be bringing you these virtual art history discussions for FREE, no reservation required. You can join us live on Zoom or Facebook.

Note that you will be muted upon entry and that this talk is being recorded as well as live-streamed. Please save all questions for the end.
