To Bastiani was given the picture of "The Doge Giovanni Mocenigo" (750) which for forty years has been exhibited as a work by Carpaccio; that charming painter now disappears from the National Gallery.
Our picture, hitherto supposed to be an early work of Carpaccio, should be compared with the signed and dated (1484) work of Bastiani in the Duomo of Murano, representing a Canon kneeling before the Virgin.
No such painters existed; but the name of Lazzaro Bastiani is on record as that of a painter already at work in 1449.
Lazzaro Bastiani was for many years the victim of one of Vasari's confusions.
Various technical similarities between the work of Bastianiand Carpaccio are pointed out by Sig.
In 1474, another proof of his rank and repute as a painter is afforded by a letter from a gentleman in Constantinople, asking for a picture by him, but that Giovanni Bellini should paint it in the event of Bastiani being already dead.
All the same, Gentile was a portrait-painter, and Bastiani was not; and it is fairly evident that the latter was at least in the front rank.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "bastiani" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
