Mantegna experimented with perspective in drawing and painting. One of the perspective tricks he used was lowering the horizon to develop a feeling of tremendous monumentality.
Mantegna's religious works mirror the range of his patron's requirements from small devotional artworks to great altarpieces like the Madonna Della Vittoria (Musée du Louvre, Paris), painted for Francesco Gonzaga in 1496.
Andrea Mantegna is believed to be the leading Northern Italian full Renaissance artist. In 1449 Andrea Mantegna commissioned decoration at Ovetari Chapel in the church of the Eremitani that were destroyed during WWII of Padua.
