ANDREA MANTEGNA, Italian (1431 - 1506)
“Mantegna provided a Classical model for Albrecht Dürer. In ‘Andrea Mantegna Engraves Julius Caesar’, I mimic Mantegna’s style of shading with parallel lines. Mantegna is shown engraving a scene from his work ‘Triumph of Julius Caesar’.” Evan Lindquist 2016
Born around 1431 in Northern Italy, Andrea Mantegna was an Italian Renaissance artist most famous for his use of foreshortening and other perspective techniques in engravings, paintings, and frescoes. Known for the linear sharpness and rigorous attention to detail, Mantegna also stands out among Italian Renaissance painters for his dedication to classical antiquity. Mantegna's work was an inspiration for many Italian Renaissance artists to follow him, including Leonardo di Vinci.
Between the late 15th century, Mantegna painted ‘The Triumphs of Caesar’ (1485-1495), a series of nine egg tempera paintings for the Gonzaga Ducal Palace in Mantua, to celebrate the ancient Roman soldier, statesman and historian, Julius Caesar (c.102-44 BC). Mantegna spent much of his life in the service of three generations of Gonzaga patrons in Mantua. When he died there in 1506, he was one of the most highly thought of artists of the Renaissance.
Mantegna's influence was wide, but nowhere more so than in the field of engraving. Mantegna oversaw a workshop of engravers that raised the stature of engraving to a high standard in the early years of the Italian Renaissance.
