Andrea Mantegna

Padua & Mantua

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Andrea Mantegna (c.1431–1506) introduced the Florentine Renaissance to Northern Italy with two ground-breaking fresco cycles. The first, depicting the lives of Saints James and Christopher in Padua’s Church of the Augustine Hermits, was destroyed in the Second World War; the second is in Mantua’s Ducal Palace. In this illustrated volume Keith Christiansen explores the artist’s life, techniques and influence.
