Antonio Vivarini

The painting dynasty included his younger brother Bartolomeo and Antonio's son Alvise Vivarini.

The earliest known date of a picture of his, an altar-piece in the Accademia is 1440; the latest, in the Vatican Museums, 1464, but he appears to have been alive in 1470.

[3] The works of Antonio are well drawn for their epoch, with a certain noticeable degree of softness, and with good flesh and other tints.

The first two (in which Giovanni participated) are in the Venetian academy, the third in the National Gallery, London.

[2] Though Alvise developed an interest in spatial coherence and solid form towards the end of the century, the Vivarini workshop, overall, continued to embody a traditional Gothic-influenced approach for much longer.
