Jacopo Bellini’s *Triptych of the Nativity* (c. 1470) is a quintessential example of Early Renaissance art. Composed of three panels, the central panel depicts the Nativity scene with the Virgin Mary and Joseph kneeling in adoration of the newborn Christ. The right and left panels feature Saint Francis and Saint George, respectively, while the upper panel showcases the Crucifixion. The artwork uses gold leaf to create a sense of grandeur and spirituality. The triptych demonstrates Bellini's skillful handling of perspective and composition, showcasing his influence on Venetian painting in the late 15th century.
