This Venetian painter was strongly influenced by Giovanni Bellini, from whom he borrowed a sonorous golden coloration and learned the subtlety of light and shade gradations. He worked best on a small scale when his crispness comes to the fore. The artist perfectly knew how to work with light, create spiritual landscapes, and convey facial expressions. At the same time, the characters seem frozen in slightly comical poses, as if the photographer said, “Don’t move!”

Cima da Conegliano’s major works are Madonna with the Orange Tree, 1487–88 (Venice: Gallerie dell’Accademia); The Annunciation, 1495 (St. Petersburg: Hermitage Museum); Virgin and Child, c. 1505 (London: National Gallery).
