Andrea Mantegna Biography(1431?-1506)An Italian painter and engraver, Andrea Mantegna painted heroic figures, often using a dramatic perspective that gives the viewer the illusion of looking up from below. The effect is somewhat the same as looking up from ground level at statues mounted on a pedestal. |

Andrea Mantegna was born about 1431 near Vicenza, Italy. When he was about 10 years old he was adopted by Francesco Squarcione, an art teacher in Padua. His skill as an artist developed quickly, and at the age of 17 Mantegna Andrea set up his own workshop, declaring that he would no longer allow Squarcione to profit by exploiting his talent. |

| There was much interest in Padua at that time in collecting and studying Roman antiquities. Andrea Mantegna knew many of the scholars and antiquarians who were involved in this painting, and his knowledge of the culture of ancient Rome is apparent in his art. His paintings helped foster the growing interest in the revival of classical forms. In 1453 Mantegna married Nicolosia Bellini, whose brothers, Giovanni and Gentile Bellini, were also artists, and both of whom did work that shows his influence. |

Andrea Mantegna remained in Padua until 1459, when
Ludovico Gonzaga
persuaded him to move to Mantua. He worked
for the Gonzaga family for the rest of his
life. For them he created some of his
greatest paintings. In one famous painting,
called the Camera degli Sposi (wedding
chamber), Andrea Mantegna painted the walls and ceiling
of a small interior room, transforming it
into an open-air pavilion. On the ceiling a
painted dome opens onto a painted sky, with
painted men and women looking down from
above. Rooms creating this sort of illusion
became very popular in the baroque era of
the 1600s. -Italy oil painting workshops supplies his biography. A series of nine Andrea Mantegna paintings, Triumph of Caesar, that Mantegna started in 1486 shows his interest in imperial Rome. Mantegna died in Mantua in 1506 and received the special honor of having a funeral chapel in the church of Santa Andrea dedicated to his honor. |
