Historical Artist - Lazzaro Bastiani (1449 - 1512)
Lazzaro Batiani probably received his training in Padua before working in a Venice workshop in
1449. His initial works show an interest in classical and sculptural forms, much in the style of
Andrea Mantegna. While in Venice, Bastiani collaborated with the Bellini family. He is thought
to have worked on three triptychs for a Venetian church with Giovanni Bellini. Later, Bastiani
worked with Gentile Bellini for the Scuola Grande di San Marco. He painted a Coronation of the
Virgin (Accademia); a Nativity (1477); and a St. Anthony on the Nut Tree. In 1508 he was called
upon, with his pupil Vittore Carpaccio, to estimate paintings of Giorgione for the Fondaco dei
Tedeschi.
