EDITORS COMMENTS
Andrea Mantegna's 'Virgin and Child with St. Joseph and another Saint' (1465-1470), a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, was acquired by the esteemed Parisian art collector, Mr. M. Kleinberger, in 1912 for the significant sum of £29,500. This painting, which depicts the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus, with St. Joseph and another saint in reverent attendance, is a prime example of Mantegna's innovative use of linear perspective and meticulous attention to detail. Born in 1431 in the region of Padua, Italy, Mantegna is considered one of the most influential artists of the Quattrocento period. His oeuvre is marked by a unique blend of realism and symbolism, as well as a profound understanding of the human form. The 'Virgin and Child with St. Joseph and another Saint' is a testament to Mantegna's artistic prowess and his ability to evoke a sense of spirituality and devotion through his use of paint and brush. The acquisition of this painting by Mr. Kleinberger, a renowned connoisseur of art, further solidified its place in the annals of art history. The transaction, which took place in Paris, marked a pivotal moment in the preservation and appreciation of this invaluable work of art. Today, the 'Virgin and Child with St. Joseph and another Saint' continues to captivate audiences with its intricate details, evocative symbolism, and enduring beauty.
