Discover the definitive collection of Andrea Mantegna’s artistic genius in this first of two comprehensive volumes. Part of the prestigious Complete Library of World Art, this book offers an authoritative account of the life, work, and lasting influence of one of the Italian Renaissance’s most significant masters.
Readers are invited to explore the transformative power of Mantegna’s style, from the heraldic splendour of the Camera degli Sposi to his starkly realistic, austere compositions that profoundly shaped later generations of painters. Alongside an insightful essay on his life, the volume includes extensive biographical notes, selected critical commentary, and a meticulous bibliography. To assist the art lover and scholar alike, the book provides a complete, location-indexed listing of his known and attributed works. With 79 black and white plates and 4 vivid colour plates, this essential reference work bridges the gap between historical biography and visual catalogue. Whether you are a dedicated art historian or a casual admirer of Renaissance masterpieces, this volume provides the clarity, precision, and historical context required to appreciate Mantegna’s assured actuality and technical brilliance.
