Identify the humanist elements in the works of Giovanni Bellini and Carpaccio
What will be an ideal response?
The heightened realism made possible by oil painting was emphasized by the artists, both of whom were commissioned by the Scuola di San Giovanni Evangelista to paint images of the annual procession of all the scuole through the streets of Venice. In Bellini's version, each individual is rendered in a portrait likeness. Carpaccio represents all of the city's diverse population. The religious subject in both works is moved to the periphery of the composition, and the artists concentrate on detailing the familiar sights and features of Venice itself. The focus is on the humanist theme of individuality.
