Beyond the Madonna Painter: reassessing the life, works, and reception of Giovanni Bellini

我的目标是写一个关键的威尼斯艺术在乔瓦尼贝里尼的一生（1433年至1516年）的文化史，集中在贝里尼的知识分子的立场。在最近十年里，档案的发现，包括贝里尼的赞助人，他与博学的人文主义者的知识友谊，他可能的私生子，他的某些同性恋和他的绘画技巧的新发现，促使人们对传记如何注入艺术表现进行新的调查。多个成果包括一本同名的书，以及在华盛顿国家美术馆和艺术史博物馆的展览，维也纳在2005-2006年，贝里尼的作品将被视为背景。

I aim to write a critical cultural history of Venetian art in Giovanni Bellini's lifetime (1433 to 1516), focussing upon Bellini's intellectual position. In the most recent decade archival discoveries, containing new revelations about Bellini's patrons, his intellectual friendships with learned humanists, his probable illegitimacy, his certain homosexuality and his painting techniques, prompt a new investigation of how biography has infused representation in art. Multiple outcomes include a book, with the same title, and an exhibition at the National Gallery, Washington, and the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna in 2005-2006, where Bellini's oeuvre will be seen in context.
