In 2007, the remains of two entwined lovers were found in the small town of Valdaro, outside of Mantua, Italy. They are believed to be 6000 years old.

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
Presentation at the Temple (1460), Cardinal Trevisan (1459-60) & St George (1460). The Portrait came about when the Pope commissioned Mantegna to paint the Cardinal who was part of the Council of Mantua (1459). The Council sought to rally Europeans against the Ottomans
