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
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
