Madonna and Child, Giovanni Bellini.
Another of Bellini’s strikingly individualistic faces for religious subjects, and the superb painting ability that caused Durer to write of Bellini after a visit to Venice: “He is very old, and still he is the best painter of them all.”

Lines and Colors is a blog about drawing, sketching, painting, comics, cartoons, webcomics, illustration, digital art, concept art, gallery art, artist tools and techniques, motion graphics, animation, sci-fi and fantasy illustration, paleo art, storyboards, matte painting, 3d graphics and anything else I find visually interesting. If it has lines and/or colors, it's fair game.
These are some art related web sites I designed.

Maybe not the greatest artist, but definitly my favorite . Not just the way he handles color,subtle and direct , but the way he treats the space around the forms – you can feel the air around them!
