Nella vita di Giovanni Bellini
Tutta la vita1470
The first commission at the Scuola di San Marco
In 1470 Giovanni receives his first commission, to work with Gentile and other artists at the Scuola di San Marco, where among other subjects he paints a Deluge with Noah's Ark.
November 1471
His mother's will: Giovanni stays out
In November 1471 Anna Rinversi, by now Jacopo's widow, arranges the transfer of his estate to Nicolò, Gentile and Nicolosia; Giovanni declines to take part in the will — to some scholars an indirect sign that he was Gentile's half-brother.
1475
Antonello da Messina in Venice
In 1475 Antonello da Messina arrives in Venice and meets Giovanni Bellini; Antonello's oil-painting methods are visible in many of Bellini's later works.
after 1479
Conservator of the paintings in the Great Council Hall
After 1479 much of Bellini's energy goes into his duties as conservator of the paintings in the great hall of the Doge's Palace: he restores his predecessors' works and paints new subjects on Venice's part in the wars of Frederick Barbarossa. His reward is first the reversion of a broker's place in the Fondaco dei Tedeschi and then, instead, a fixed annual pension of eighty ducats.
