Cima da Conegliano, real name, Giovanni Battista Cima (c. 1459 – c. 1517)
Cima da Conegliano was an Italian Renaissance artist, named after the town of his birth. He spent the majority of his career in Venice and was a painter of the Venetian School. Cima mostly painted richly coloured religious subjects, adopting a fine balance between light and shade and often included a silvery tinge to his work, lending it a sense of calm and tranquility. In his later years, he changed this silver tinge, to a delicate gold. It is thought that he may have been a pupil of Bartolomeo Montagna, he was certainly influenced by Giovanni Bellini and his brilliant use of colour. Cima would often paint different versions of the same subject, one such example is his paintings of the Madonna and Child.
