Transfiguration of Christ is a c.1480 oil-on-panel painting of the Gospel episode the Transfiguration of Jesus by the Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, now in the Capodimonte Museum in Naples, Italy. [1]
By this time Bellini had abandoned Gothic art and outgrown the influence of Mantegna. The picture shows a more relaxed style than his earlier Transfiguration . The work is signed IOANNES BELLINUS on a small chart hanging from the fence in the foreground. The leaves of the tree on the right, as well as the faces of James and Peter, are from a later restoration.
