in the text respecting the position of Bellini as the last of the
religious painters of Venice. The following passage is quoted in
Jackson's "Essay on Wood-engraving," from Albert Durer's
Diary:
" I have many good friends among the Italians who warn me
not to eat or drink with their painters, of whom several are my
enemies, and copy my picture in the church, and others of mine,
wherever they can find them, and yet they blame them, and say
they are not according to ancient art, and therefore not good.
Giovanni Bellini, however, has praised me highly to several gentlemen, and wishes to have something of my doing : he called on
me himself, and requested that I would paint a picture for him,
for which, he said, he wpuld pay me well. People are all surprised that I should be so much thought of by a person of his
reputation : he is very old, but is still the best painter of them
all."

painters, side by side with the good old Venetian, who was soon
to leave them to their own ways. The Renaissance men are seen
