Color PaletteAssociated American Artists, New York; purchased by Walter and Joan Wolf, Indianapolis, Indiana, 1978; given to the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 2008.
In his paintings, Mantegna evoked the nobility of ancient Roman art and that was at the heart of the Renaissance.
Giorgio Vasari, writing in 1550, was mistaken in stating that Mantegna was the first Italian artist to engrave, but, with Mantegna's first engravings appearing in the 1460s, he was the first painter of the first rank to engrave.
While Vasari lists the Triumph of Julius Caesar among Mantegna's prints, it is more likely the product of his workshop following the master's drawings for a cycle of paintings created between 1486 and 1492.
