Andrea Mantegna (UK: , US: , Italian: [an'dr??a man'te??a]; c.?1431 – September 13, 1506) was an Italian painter, a student of Roman archeology, and son-in-law of Jacopo Bellini.
Like other artists of the time, Mantegna experimented with perspective, e.g.
by lowering the horizon in order to create a sense of greater monumentality.
His flinty, metallic landscapes and somewhat stony figures give evidence of a fundamentally sculptural approach to painting.
He also led a workshop that was the leading producer of prints in Venice before 1500.
