Falsity or Wisdom by Giovanni Bellini

Falsity or Wisdom by Giovanni Bellini

Giovanni Bellini’s painting “Falsity or Wisdom”. The size of the picture is 34 x 22 cm, wood, oil. In general, the art of Giovanni Bellini – one of the greatest masters of the Italian Renaissance – refutes the once widespread view of the supposedly predominantly decorative and purely “picturesque” nature of the Venetian school.

In the allegory “Falsity or Wisdom” there is no answer to the sacramental question, there is only an artistic form of presentation of ancient traditions, definitions of the very essence of these concepts, expressed in allegorical language.
