Descrizione
A masterful Renaissance engraving by Andrea Mantegna, featuring the Risen Christ flanked by Saint Andrew and Saint Longinus, rendered with precise, sculptural line work.
This engraving by Andrea Mantegna depicts the Risen Christ standing at the centre, flanked by Saint Andrew on the left and Saint Longinus on the right. Mantegna, a master of the Italian Renaissance, utilised the medium of engraving to achieve a sculptural quality in his figures. The composition is balanced and formal, reflecting the artist's interest in classical antiquity and human anatomy.
Christ is shown with his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing, while his left hand holds a tall staff topped with a cross. Saint Andrew leans against a large cross, his expression solemn and contemplative. On the opposite side, Saint Longinus is depicted in armour, his hands clasped in prayer. The figures are rendered with precise, parallel hatching lines that define the musculature and the folds of their garments. This technique creates a sense of volume and weight, characteristic of Mantegna's approach to printmaking.
The background is relatively sparse, allowing the viewer to focus on the interaction between the three figures. The architectural elements, such as the base upon which Christ stands, are drawn with a clear perspective. Mantegna's work in engraving was highly influential during his lifetime, as it allowed his compositions to reach a wider audience beyond the patrons of his paintings. This print demonstrates his ability to translate the monumentality of his fresco work into the smaller, more portable format of the copperplate engraving. The attention to detail in the armour of Longinus and the drapery of the robes shows the technical rigour that defined his career in Mantua. This piece remains a significant example of early Italian printmaking, capturing the gravity and technical precision associated with the artist's output.

Artist Biography
Andrea Mantegna
Mantegna sued his adoptive father. Francesco Squarcione, a Paduan painter and dealer, had taken the boy in around 1441 when Mantegna was roughly ten years old, the son of a woodworker. Squarcione ran a workshop that profited from apprentice labour, and when Mantegna realised the arrangement was exploitative, he took the older man to court. A judge ruled in his favour in 1448, making him legally independent at seventeen.
Padua in the 1440s was the first centre of Renaissance humanism in northern Italy. Donatello was working there on the bronze reliefs for the Basilica of Sant'Antonio; Paolo Uccello and Filippo Lippi had both passed through. Mantegna absorbed their experiments with perspective and classical form, then pushed further. His frescoes in the Ovetari Chapel (completed 1457, largely destroyed by Allied bombing in 1944) showed figures seen from below with an architectural conviction no northern Italian painter had attempted before.
In 1453 he married Nicolosia Bellini, daughter of the Venetian painter Jacopo Bellini, binding himself to the most powerful artistic dynasty in the Veneto. The relationship was productive in both directions: Giovanni Bellini, his brother-in-law, learned from Mantegna's sculptural precision while Mantegna gradually absorbed the Venetians' sensitivity to light and atmosphere, though he never fully abandoned his preference for hard, lapidary surfaces.
From 1460 until his death in 1506, Mantegna served as court painter to the Gonzaga family in Mantua. The Camera degli Sposi (completed 1474) was the first room in European painting to use illusionistic decoration across walls and ceiling as a unified architectural space. The ceiling's famous oculus, a circular opening revealing figures peering down from a balustrade against open sky, was a joke that fooled visitors and influenced decorative painting for two centuries.
