EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "Virgin of Victory (Pala della Vittoria) (Madonna della Vittoria)" by Andrea Mantegna. Painted in 1496, this exquisitely detailed piece was created as an offering of gratitude for the Battle of Fornoua (Fornovo) that took place in 1495. The central figure is the Virgin Mary, surrounded by four significant saints: Saint Michael, Saint George, Saint Longin, and Saint Andre. The Marquis of Mantua, Francois II de Gonzague (Francesco II Gonzaga), who commissioned the painting, can be seen humbly prostrating himself at her feet. To the right side of the composition are two additional figures: a youthful depiction of Saint John the Baptist and Saint Elizabeth. Each character adds depth to this religious tableau. Mantegna's masterful use of tempera on wood brings forth vibrant colors and intricate details that captivate viewers even today. The dimensions of this impressive artwork measure approximately 2 meters wide by 1.56 meters tall. Currently housed in Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this photograph captures every nuance and brushstroke with remarkable clarity thanks to Photo Josse's skilled photography techniques. As we gaze upon this image print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to a time when art served as both a form of devotion and commemoration—a testament to human creativity and spirituality throughout history.
