"Qui il tipo del contadino in tutto il suo squallore, in tutta la sua grossolanità, è reso con la stessa impietosa fedeltà rintracciabile in un quadro di Van Eyck."

Really like how illustration like Botticelli's stuff is especially the faces, last one is Mantegna but it's still illustrative so I put it in.

Mantegna’s work fascinates due to his constant attempt to place biblical events within an archaeologically accurate context - representative of Renaissance learning. His Madonnas are, however, some of the most beautiful examples of Maternal lovey

The Triumphs of Caesar (1484-92) are 9 works by Mantegna which have been described as his masterpiece. They were painted for Mantua but acquired by Charles I of England in 1629. They have been badly degraded over time but are still an impressive reconstruction of a Roman Triumph

Mantegna sought to explore the emotion of events in the bible. His works of the Madonna & Child achieve great warmth & love. Madonna of the Cherubim (1485), Madonna of the Cave (1488-90) & Ecce Homo (c1500)

In 1460 Mantegna was appointed Court artist by Ludovico III Gonzaga at his Ducal Court in Mantua. There he created frescoes in the Camera degli Sposi, Ducal Palace, Mantua (1465-74). These document the Duke & his Court. His oculus is one of the triumphs of the Renaissance

The San Zeno Polyptych (1457-60) is another work where Mantegna’s research is apparent. A particular feature are the garlands, inspired by Roman sarcophagi. It was the first major Renaissance work in Verona & he is believed to have designed the frame.

Squarcione taught him Latin & he was open to Florentine influences. The two split when Mantegna turned 17. Drawing (c1450), St Bernardine (1450). Despite their break Squarcione imbued in his student a commitment to placing contemporary art in the context of the Roman antique

Thread: Andrea Mantegna (c1431-1506) was an Italian Renaissance painter & antiquarian. His work linked modern painting with Roman antiquity. Oculus, Camera degli Sposi (1465-74), Madonna & Child (c1455) & Portrait of a Man (c1470). He is one of my favourite artists
