Giovanni Bellini: A pioneering Venetian artist | National Gallery

Caroline Campbell, Head of Curatorial, discusses 'The Agony in the Garden', by Giovanni Bellini, an incredible painting by one of the most influential and celebrated Venetian artists. The talk also looks at Bellini’s pioneering portrayal of natural light, and compares his depiction of this biblical story to a painting on the same theme by his brother-in-law, Andrea Mantegna.
