Transfiguration of Christ is a c.1480 oil-on-panel painting of the Gospel episode theTransfiguration of Jesus by the Italian Renaissance masterGiovanni Bellini, now in theCapodimonte Museum inNaples,Italy.[1]
By this time Bellini had abandonedGothic art and outgrown the influence ofMantegna. The picture shows a more relaxed style than his earlierTransfiguration. The work is signedIOANNES BELLINUS on a small chart hanging from the fence in the foreground. The leaves of the tree on the right, as well as the faces of James and Peter, are from a later restoration.
