Transfiguration of Christ on Mount Tabor 1455

Giovanni Bellini's *Transfiguration of Christ on Mount Tabor* (c. 1455) depicts a pivotal moment in Christian scripture. Christ, radiating light, stands on a mountaintop with Moses and Elijah, while three of his apostles, overcome with awe, lie prostrate below. The scene, a blend of earthly and divine, highlights Bellini's skillful portrayal of light and atmospheric depth, characteristic of the Venetian Renaissance. Located in the Museo Correr, Venice, this artwork demonstrates Bellini's early mastery of color and detail, setting the stage for his later, more mature works.
