Zaccharia picture of 1505. The interval was occupied largely by Bellini's works in the Ducal Palace. But before proceeding to pictures dating from the sixteenth century, we must notice two important works--the allegories of the Uffizi and the Venice Academy, of which the former is of capital importance for its evidence of Bellini's unique position as the pioneer of cinquecento art, while both alike are interesting as belonging to that series of pictures in which Bellini, casting off for a moment the symmetrical regularity of the altarpiece, showed that he kept alive the tradition of Jacopo's free composition and his lyrical fancy; a tradition of which Giorgione was so soon to find the highest possible expression.
