Bartolomeo or Bartolommeo Vivarini (c. 1432 – c. 1499)

• Was an Italian Renaissance painter.
• Vivarini is known to have worked from 1450 to 1499.
• Bartolomeo's brother Antonio Vivarini, and his nephew (also possibly his pupil) Alvise Vivarini, were also painters.
• He learned oil painting from Antonello da Messina, and is said to have produced, in 1473, the first oil picture done in Venice.
• Housed in the basilica of San Zanipolo, it is a large altar-piece in nine divisions, representing Augustine and other saints.
• Most of his works, however, are in tempera.
