Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the life and work of Andrea Mantegna, a prominent figure in the early Renaissance movement in Italy. The author traces Mantegna's artistic journey from his training in the studio of Francesco Squarcione to his influential role as court painter to the Gonzaga family in Mantua. Along the way, the book analyzes Mantegna's distinctive style, characterized by its realism, plasticity, and somber coloring, and examines how his work was shaped by his deep interest in classical art and humanist philosophy. The book also sheds light on Mantegna's significant contributions to the development of perspective and foreshortening techniques in painting, making it an invaluable resource for art enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the evolution of Renaissance art.
