Giovanni Bellini and His Circle: Exhibition at Palazzo Sarcinelli, Conegliano

An exhibition at Palazzo Sarcinelli in Conegliano, curated by Giandomenico Romanelli, explores the legacy of Giovanni Bellini and his workshop. The show draws from the Accademia dei Concordi in Rovigo, which holds over 450 paintings, mostly by 15th-century Venetian artists. It focuses on two panels by Bellini and the question of who qualifies as a 'belliniano.' The exhibition includes works by assistants, collaborators, and followers such as Marco Bello, whose Circoncisione copies Bellini's prototype. Other artists featured include Palma il Vecchio, Tiziano, and Dosso Dossi. The show is organized into thematic sections: Madonne con Bambino, Devote meditazioni, Imago Christi, and portraiture. It marks the quincentenary of Bellini's death and concludes a four-year cycle of exhibitions on the Venetian Renaissance in Conegliano, hometown of Cima da Conegliano.
