Eni is the main sponsor of the exhibition at Mantua, the place where Mantegna spent his most decisive artistic period. The Palazzo Te show will feature around sixty works and illustrates the influence that Mategna had on the generation of artists that succeeded him.
During his life in Mantova, Mantegna's fame spread far and wide. He was celebrated and admired by his contemporaries and left an indelible mark on Mantova with his revolutionary style. Thanks also to the fundamental series of the Triumphs, now at Hampton Court, of which a splendid 17th century copy can be seen at the City Museum of Palazzo San Sebastiano – and in spite of the arrival on the scene, late in the artist's life, of Isabella d'Este, who focused her artistic interest on new talents.
