Raised in the household of Jacopo Bellini (once assumed his father, now uncertain), Giovanni worked in the shadow of his older brother Gentile, who commanded more regard during their lifetimes. His brother-in-law was Andrea Mantegna. Through clear, slow-drying oil paints, Giovanni built a technique of rich tints and detailed shadings that shifted Venetian painting toward sensuousness and atmosphere. The sumptuous color and fluent landscapes he developed shaped the entire Venetian school. He died 29 December 1516, leaving behind two pupils who would carry the revolution forward and a cocktail that still bears his name.
