Blessing Christ is a 1500 oil by Giovanni Bellini, a High Renaissance work, depicting Jesus Christ, held at National Gallery of Canada.
This painting depicts Jesus Christ, standing in a serene landscape. He wears a long blue robe with a red cloak draped over his left shoulder, and his right hand is raised in a blessing gesture. In his left hand, he holds a green book, possibly the Bible. The background of the painting features a distant landscape with rolling hills, trees, and a few buildings. The sky above is blue with white clouds. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this painting, you might want to look up Giovanni Bellini.
