One of Mantegna’s first major jobs was working on the Ovetari Frescoes (c1450-6), which show the martyrdom of St Christopher. He completed the overall scheme & his style is apparent in the heads & the architecture depicted.

Thread: Andrea Mantegna (c1431-1506), Italian Renaissance painter & antiquarian, died on this day. 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

By 1517 he was in Lucerne & prob went to Italy too. He became fascinated with the work of Mantegna - both artists favouring crisp lines & clarity in their approach. He returned to Basel in 1519. Self Portrait (c1542) & two Mantegna portraits (c1460-70) & Francesco Gonzaga (1461)
