Appears to me Giovanni Bellini is integrating Netherlandish influence in this painting, while retaining an essentially Italian/Venetian approach. I'm thinking of the way he sets up and presents landscape in particular here

Experts say that he took a taste for minutiae from Flemish masters such as Hugo van der Goes and Rogier van der Weyden. However, Mantegna is still the biggest ghost in this painting
