Of their earlier religious art, Giovanni Bellini gives us the finest examples, and his acquaintance may be made through some three or four works of great beauty in the National Gallery. He comes, in spirit, possibly the nearest of all to the earlier Tuscan masters, but at the same time exhibits a very marked divergence from them in method. This may be seen very distinctly in a painting in the Venetian Academy known as the "Madonna of the Two Trees." The Madonna is re- presented half-length only..., and is seated in a beautiful and stately pose, with the child standing upon her knees ; behind her is a simple, straightly hung cur- tain, and on either side a green tree. If one mentally compares this group with, let us say, the " Magnificat " No. 13. The Madonna of the two Trees. — Belljni. DREAMLAND AND REALITY 73 of Botticelli, one sees at once the fundamental differ- ence there is between the methods of the two schools. In short, Bellini had not had the training of the Tuscan goldsmith ; there is not in his work that delicate per- ception and free use of line which distinguishes the work of nearly every Tuscan artist.
