Andrea Mantegna
Italian, 1431–1506
Andrea Mantegna was an Italian Renaissance painter. 71 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art, most of them tempera paintings. Andrea Mantegna was born in Isola Mantegna.
Andrea Mantegna (UK: US:; Italian:; c. 1431 – September 13, 1506) was an Italian Renaissance painter, a student of Roman archaeology, and the son-in-law of Jacopo Bellini. Like other artists of the time, Mantegna experimented with perspective, e.g. by lowering the horizon in order to create a sense of greater monumentality. His flinty, metallic landscapes, and somewhat stony figures give evidence of a fundamentally sculptural approach to painting. He also led a workshop that was the leading producer of prints in Venice before 1500.
