Bellini, San Giobbe Altarpiece
(piano music) Man: We're in the Academia in Venice and we're looking at a relatively early Giovanni Bellini.발음듣기
Man: So this is, we think, the very first Sacra Conversazione that is set within the architecture of a church painted in Venice.발음듣기
Woman: Sacra Conversazione is a group of saints from different time periods together in the same space with the Madonna and child.발음듣기
We see it in the work of Pierro della Francesca in his Brera Altarpiece and we also see it in the San Zeno altarpiece.발음듣기
He is not only displaying his stigmata, that is the holes in his hands and his feet and his side that he received as a kind of honor because he lived his life so closely to Christ but he is actually beckoning us.발음듣기
The painting had a rounded, an architectural frame, that had on either side plasters with capitals very much like the ones that we see in the painted space.발음듣기
Man: That's right this painting in it's original frame had married the architecture of the actual church with the architecture of the invented space.발음듣기
Woman: Bellini is also joining our space with the space of the Madonna and saints by creating this coffered barrel vault that extends into our space from which a canopy or baldacchino hangs so we really feel this joining of our own space in the space of the painting.발음듣기
Man: But the architectural references in this painting are not so much to the church of San Giobbe as to the most important church in Venice, that is the Basilica of Saint Mark.발음듣기
This is exactly what the inside of Saint Mark looks like with mystical golden light created by the mosaics.발음듣기
Man: You can also see references to San Marco in the beautiful [?] decorated marble that exists in back of the throne.발음듣기
After Venice had plundered Constantinople in 1204 during the fourth crusade they had brought back all of these treasures including this very decorative marble, which is all over the exterior of San Marco.발음듣기
In the background Saint John the Baptist and then Job himself, who is offering prayers in the direction of Christ and the virgin Mary.발음듣기
Then on the other side we see Saint Dominick, in the foreground the nearly naked Saint Sebastian, and then in the back Saint Louis of Toulouse.발음듣기
You can see that the three saints on the left side create a kind of triangle with their heads pointing back into space with Saint John the Baptist's head as the furthest most point.발음듣기
Woman: We also have a pyramid in the three angels at the bottom of the throne, and then Mary herself holding the Christ child, her body forms a pyramid.발음듣기
We might recall, for example, Leonardo's Virgin of the Rocks, where Mary and Christ and Saint John and an angel form a pyramid.발음듣기
Man: Geometry is bound to help with our understanding of the high Renaissance because it can help provide a sense of stability, of balance, and a sense of the eternal.발음듣기
Woman: So what Bellini is doing so different from earlier Sacra Conversaziones, if we could think for example of Domenico Veneziano's Saint Lucy altarpiece, there, there is a clear white light that permeates that space.발음듣기
But here Bellini has created a golden warm tonality and atmosphere that unifies the figures.발음듣기
That architectural space has such a kind of rich internal atmosphere that is full of mystery, that is full of shadow.발음듣기
Woman: In so many ways this painting is a continuation of something started by Masaccio of creating an illusion on the wall of real space but the naturalism of the Renaissance,발음듣기
That golden light, the meditative mood of the figures, this all gives us a sense of transcendence, of looking at something spiritual.발음듣기
Man: One of the things that I find most powerful about this painting is the rendering of the human bodies.발음듣기
And whose bodies are defined so beautifully by the subtle light and Sebastian really stands out in this regard.발음듣기
