According to the existing detachable information about the childhood and early biography of the painter, it is known that he was brought up with three brothers and Nikolosia - younger sister, but for some reason the parents did not mention him in the will, and the researchers assumed that he was bastard or orphan.

Creation
An early creative period of the famous Italian artist includes a number of Madonn with a baby written in the 1450s. They can be seen that the Venetian school of iconopisis affected Bellini, but he had an idea of Rober Campen and other modern Dutch.
At the beginning of the 1470s, Bellini, together with other masters, worked in San Marco's San Marko and was to create a fresco that portrayed the World Flood, and then he painted a picture called "Transformation", which decorates the collection of the Napletarian Museum Di Capodimonte.

In the picture around the Virgin Mary, the prophets of John Baptist, Job, Sebastian, Dominica and Francis, and this scene of the knee-freelancers fit into architecture in such a way that he created the illusion of presence and emphasized the temple flavor.
