In Italian, this guild is called "Cimatore", which explains the epithet Cima. The addition da Conegliano, on the other hand, refers to the town of Conegliano, now part of the province of Treviso, where the artist came from. For the rest of his life Giovanni Battista was to remain associated with the town at the foot of the Colli Veneti. Thus, although he worked for clients in Parma and Bologna, in Venice and Reggio Emilia, he always returned to his native municipality and was also buried there near his childhood home.
Little is known about the early life of the Italian Renaissance painter and his artistic career. Even his year of birth is in the dark. However, based on tax records of his birthplace, in which a certain Joannes Cimador is mentioned for the first time in 1473, it can be assumed that Giovanni Battista must have seen the light of day in 1459 or 1460. This is because, according to the laws of the Serenissima, young men became liable to pay taxes from the age of 14. With whom the young Giovanni Battista enjoyed his education, however, can no longer be reconstructed. He was probably taught in Venice. In any case, his first works are reminiscent of those of Bartolomeo Montagna, who was active in the lagoon city.
Cima's later paintings, on the other hand, approached more the style of Masaccio, which earned him the nickname "The Venetian Masaccio". To some, he also reminded them of Giovanni Bellini, who was about 20 years older and far more famous. They therefore liked to call him the "poor man's Bellini". Neither comparison is entirely fair. Cima's atmospheric Venetian depictions, with their light effects and always glowing, pure colors, certainly have their own independence. They are pictures full of painterly beauty, with strong inclusion of gracefully transfigured landscapes. For them he found inspiration around his native place, but also in the works Albrecht Dürers. The German painter also stayed in Venice in the early 16th century and influenced many of his fellow Italian painters with his conception of nature.
Giovanni Battista Cima da Conegliano may be considered an extremely prolific artist. He created a large number of altarpieces and devotional paintings, including numerous Madonnas with Child. Today, over 30 altarpieces by him still survive - more than by any other of his contemporaries. Remarkable and unique for his time are the elaborate landscapes in which he depicted his figures. Time and again, however, he was also commissioned by wealthy collectors to paint motifs from Greek mythology. In order to be able to fulfill all orders, he maintained a small workshop. However, it is not documented that he trained renowned painters there. Such an education would probably not have been promising for the next generation. Giovanni Battista Cima da Conegliano's style remained virtually unchanged over the decades, and the Renaissance period was already coming to an end when the artist died in 1517 or 1518.
