Vivarini, Alvise

Vivarini, Alvise

▪ Italian painter
also called  Luigi Vivarini  
born c. 1446, Murano?, Republic of Venice [Italy]
died c. 1505

      painter in the late Gothic style whose father, Antonio, was the founder of the influential Vivarini family of Venetian artists.

      Vivarini's earliest work is an altarpiece at Monte Fiorentino (c. 1475). Between 1483 and 1485 he was at work in southern Italy, producing altarpieces at Barletta (1483) and Naples (1485). In 1488, with Giovanni Bellini (Bellini, Giovanni), he was employed on paintings (now lost) for the Doges' Palace in Venice. His last work, an altarpiece begun in 1503 for Santa Maria dei Frari in Venice, was completed by Marco Basaiti.

 Vivarini was somewhat traditional and conventional in his approach, ignoring, for the most part, the trend away from the forms of Gothic painting. His few late works, however, have a stamp of individuality that distinguishes them from the mainstream of the Venetian style at the time—e.g., his psychologically complex portrait of an unknown Venetian gentleman, signed and dated 1497, now in the National Gallery, London.
