San Francesco Altarpiece (c. 1517) by Romanino

The San Francesco Altarpiece is a c.1517 oil on canvas painting by Romanino, [1] painted for and still on show in the church of San Francesco, Brescia.

It was produced just after the artist's return from Padua, where he had come into contact with the innovations of Titian at the Scuola del Santo. It shows a Madonna and Child surrounded by Franciscan saints - Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua standing either side and Bonaventure, Louis of Toulouse and Bernardino of Siena kneeling at the base with a monk (father Francesco Sanson).

<i>Pesaro Altarpiece</i> (Bellini)

The Pesaro Altarpiece is an oil on panel painting by Giovanni Bellini, dated to some time between 1471 and 1483. It is considered one of Bellini's first mature works, though there are doubts on its dating and on who commissioned it. The work's technique is not only an early use of oils but also of blue smalt, a by-product of the glass industry. It had already been used in the Low Countries in Bouts' 1455 The Entombment, but this marked smalt's first use in Italian art, twenty years before Leonardo da Vinci used it in Ludovico il Moro's apartments in Milan in 1492. Bellini also uses the more traditional lapis lazuli and azurite for other blues in the work.
