Mantegna

	"During [a] stay in Rome...Andrea painted a small picture showing Our Lady with her Son sleeping in her arms. The background is formed by a mountain with caves in which some stone-cutters are quarrying; and aAndrea depicted this scene with great patience and delicacy..Today the picture is in the possession of the most illustrious lord. Don Francesco Medici, prince of Florence." I-246 Madonna of the Quarries
	"I have in my book half a folio sheet with a drawing by Andrea finished in chiaoscuro and showing Judith putting the head of Holofernes into a bag held by one of her Moorish slaves. The chiaoscuro is done in a style which is no longer used, for Andrea left the paper white to serve for the lights in place of white lead." I-246 Judith and Holofernes, grisaille
	"Andrea used to love doing copper engravings; and among other things he reproduced his own Triumphs in engravings which were highly valued since they were better than anything seen before." I-246 Engraving after the Triumph of Caesar
	Tarocchi del Mantegna (engraving)
	"One of the last works that Mantegna did was a panel picture for Santa Maria della Vittoria, a church built by the Marquis Francesco to commemorate his victory against the French. This painting shows the Madonna and Child seated on a pedestal and Joachim presenting to Our Lady the marquis himself realistically portrayed from life." I-247 Madonna of Victories, Louvre
	"As I said, he loved making copper engravings, making use of a really remarkable process which has made it possible for everyone to study not only the battle of the sea monsters and the Entombment of Christ but also the personal style of all the artists who have ever lived." I-248 The Battle of the Sea Monsters (engraving)
	The Entombment (engraving)
