Synopsis
Excerpt from Andrea Manntegna: And the Italian Pre-Raphaelite Engravers
Of all the early Italian engravers, Andrea Mantegna is by far the most powerful, though scarcely the most human. Like many of the Florentines, he was an ardent lover of antiquity, but his spirit was far more impassive than theirs, and far more like the antique marble itself. His art has a monumental dignity which the Floren tines never possessed, but it lacks the freshness and inexpressible charm that pervade Tuscan art. His was a genius that would have made one of the noblest sculptors; the engraving ofthe Risen Christ (xlviii) shows what he might have achieved in the field, but it needed the warmth of Venetian colouring to give his painting invigorating life.
