Pala di San Zeno Mantegna (1 jul 1456 año – 1 jul 1459 año)

Descripción:

This alter piece was commissioned by a church of the beneditine order
- Donatello like frame that Mantegna designed it for a carpenter columns and painted columns
- ↳ We know it was designed by him because we see the coincidence of the columns of the
frame with the painted columns in the painting
- ↳Concetto di spazio unificato - the figures are occupying the same space although there is this
sort of dialogue between he painted architecture and the architecture of the frame
- Unified panel - new type of pala (pala unificata) - inside the sophisticated loggia, very
articulated composition painted in a scale to suggest depth - new way of adapting perspective
– predella panels were dispersed during the war
- ↳ So here we are again looking at this new type of pala that presents a new type of space
inside this sophisticated loggia with a lot of references to the antique
- Very articulate composition with many figures that are clearly painted in scale to suggest a
sort of distance so we can really follow a punto di fuga → the lines that direct our eyes to the
punto di fuga
