To put this historical event into perspective, one must understand that the subsequent direction of artistic endeavors has progressively swung toward the more abstract and theoretical. So much so that the avant-garde has reached its limits in terms of style, content, and artistic expression.

However, the essences of the Renaissance masters have combined with the artistic vision of a Bellini Masterpiece to create a new genre within the oil painting medium.

The Renaissance masters glazed as a means of highlighting specific areas to give the painting spatial perspective, a third dimension effect. Renaldo Bellini has taken the genesis of what the Renaissance masters have done and applied it to the whole canvas and yet this still fails to grasp the true meaning of how he paints. Every object within the painting has at one time or another been every other color. As a consequence, there are over a thousand layers of colors within each painting and millions of color combinations as confirmed by x-ray. Moreover, colors are not pre-mixed to create a single color within each layer, for example: when the artist creates a color upon the canvas such as “green”, he first applies blue, and allows this to dry, and then a thin veil of varnish is applied and allowed to dry. And now, the yellow is applied over the top and allowed to dry. This continues over and over until the desired depth of color and dimensions is reached, thus creating an intricately individualized color, shade, saturation and luminance, in each and every layer on the entire canvas until the last brushstrokes are applied, where we actually see the desired colors. This entire process, with hundreds of layers and millions of color combinations, takes three to five years to complete, thus creating a new dimension, a fourth dimension, a feat never before achieved.
