Excerpt from Masters in Art, Vol. 9: A Series of Illustrated Monographs; October 1908, Moretto
Bellini, an old man, was still alive. The whole town was full of young and eager craftsmen, intent on learning their trade in the greatest school of the world. Moretto may have known Tintoretto and Palma Vecchio. He may have brushed elbows against El Greco, another student in the school of Titian. He may have seen Albert Durer, when the latter made his Visit to Venice.
The curious thing about Moretto, however, is that with all these induce ments to paint in a style nearly approaching the Venetian, he chose to go back to his Brescia in the hills and to paint quite in his own manner in cool, silvery tones quite different from the hot gold of Venice. Yet in this Venetian school he must have played a good part in his day, before he went back to his native town. One or two of his pictures still remain in Venice; notably his Feast in the House of Simon,' which is a very fine production.
