Book Overview:
NOBODY who has lived in modern times has so stirred up the world as Napoleon Bonaparte. Nobody has upset so many old things, and started so many new ones. No man ever lived who had more faith in his own powers—and less respect for those of other men. Napoleon had, too, an unusual combination of those personal qualities which excite and interest men. It is nearly a hundred years since he dropped out of active life; but his story is more rather than less thrilling as time goes on.

The last ten or twelve years of Bellini’s life were filled with more commissions than he could handle. Albrecht Dürer, the famous German painter, visited Venice for a second time in 1506. He reported that Bellini was still the best painter in the city, and he also spoke of the hospitality and courtesy of the artist. Bellini died in 1516.
As pupils he had many of the most famous artists of his time. Two of them, in fact, surpassed him later on—Giorgione and Titian. Bellini may be called the true founder of Venetian painting.
