This book celebrates the cultural riches of Mantua. New
photographs, most of which have been specially taken for this book
following important restoration work, reveal superb details and
bring the city and its treasures to vivid life. Mantua has
attracted a line of prestigious artists and architects from the
Renaissance onwards, including Pisanello, Alberti, Giulio Romano,
Correggio and Rubens, all of whom were championed by the
illustrious Gonzaga family, who ruled the city for nearly four
centuries (1328-1708). The city is also closely identified with the
painter Andrea Mantegna, whose technical mastery revolutionized
painting in the 15th century, but the full range of Mantua's art
and architecture also embraces early Gothic masterpieces and the
exuberance of the Baroque. The vital cultural legacy of Mantua
lives on in its beautifully restored frescoes and in the
collections of the world's greatest museums. These priceless works
of art appear together with fresh impetus in the pages of this
important volume.
