| | Like Squarcione, and indeed most north Italian artists, he was influenced by the scuptures of Donatello at Padua, and he was later impressed by the paintings of the Florentines, Uccello and Filippo Lippi. | | | Mantegna tried to set his picture in the Roman period to which it belonged, and has made a careful study of clothing from Roman statues. | | | As well as Florentine styles, Mantegna was influenced by Venetian fashion, in particular the style of Jacopo Bellini, whose daughter Lodovisia he married 1453. |

| | Andrea Mantegna - Biography |
| | Born in or around 1431 in the small town of Isola di Carturo, near Padua, Mantegna is known for the linear sharpness and rigorous attention to detail of his art. | | | While Mantegna must have had a large workshop to help with his numerous commissions, he had few pupils of note: Bonsignori and Caroto are usually cited, in addition to the lesser talent of his son, Francesco. | | | Mantegna's influence was wide, but nowhere more so than in the field of engraving, which he raised to a high art. |

| | Mantegna almost always changed the perspectival construction of his compositions from that devised in a drawing to that finally executed in a painting, almost as though he needed to work out the composition and poses before he applied his techniques of recession and foreshortening. | | | Mantegna’s artistic genius and adherence to humanist tenets were noted early on in his career not long after frescoing the Ovetari Chapel he was given what was to be the most important opportunity of his life. | | | Mantegna’s pictures adhere to the principles laid out by his friend, the theorist Leon Battista Alberti, in his De Pictura (1435): verisimilitude, an effective use of perspective, and sculptural effects, are all combined with a complete mastery of the tempera medium. |

| | Biography |
| | The influence of both ancient Roman sculpture and the contemporary sculptor Donatello are clearly evident in Mantegna's rendering of the human figure. | | | One of the key artistic figures of the second half of the 15th century, Mantegna was the dominant influence on north Italian painting for 50 years. | | | In Madonna of Victory (1495, Louvre), he introduced a new compositional arrangement, based on diagonals, which was later to be exploited by Correggio, while his Dead Christ (Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan) was a tour de force of foreshortening that pointed ahead to the style of 16th-century Mannerism. |
