compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Andrea Mantegna was born in 1431 and grew up in Padua, near Venice, Italy, and began his artistic career there. He was the quintessential Renaissance man; he could draw with the precision of a surgeon, play with perspective like a computer animator and paint with the sensitivity of a diva. Mantegna ramks near the top of the Renaissance hierachy. His feats of perspective stole the show from his fellow artists and quickly brought Mantegna the lion's share of commissions in and around Padua.
