	Biography
		Mantegna, Andrea (1431-1506), one of the foremost north Italian painters of the 15th century.
		Born (probably at Isola di Carturo, between Vicenza and Padua) in 1431, Mantegna became the apprentice and adopted son of the painter Francesco Squarcione of Padua.
		In 1459 Mantegna went to Mantua to become court painter to the ruling Gonzaga family and accordingly turned from religious to secular and allegorical subjects.

	Andrea Mantegna - LoveToKnow 1911
		ANDREA MANTEGNA (1431-1506), one of the chief heroes in the advance of painting in Italy, was born in Vicenza, of very humble parentage.
		The remarkably definite and original style formed by Mantegna may be traced out as founded on the study of the antique in Squarcione's atelier, followed by a diligent application of principles of work exemplified by Paolo Uccello and Donatello, with the practical guidance and example of Jacopo Bellini in the sequel.
		Mantegna was no less eminent as an engraver, though his history in that respect is somewhat obscure, partly because he never signed or dated any of his plates, unless in one single disputed instance, 1472.

	The Mantegna Cosmograph
		In this set are the seven planets of antiquity, the eighth sphere of the zodiac and the fixed stars, and the ninth sphere of the Primum Mobile, the First Moving Sphere which sets in motion the rotation of the heavens and the rising of all the stars and planets.
		Moreover, the Mantegna series of images itself was influential for at least 150 years, as shown by their almost immediate use to accompany a 1471 series of poems by Ludovico Lazzarelli, and by their much later use reflected in the designs of the 1616 Labyrinth Game.
		Some of the Mantegna images were used as models for bas-reliefs of the tomb of Pope Sixtus IV.

	Andrea Mantegna
		Mantegna's life long passion for Classical antiquity was given ample early nourishment through the archaeological interests of his master, the abundance of Roman remains in northern Italy and the humanistic atmosphere generated by the local university of Padua.
		Mantegna's earliest independent commission was for the fresco decorations of the Ovetari Chapel of the Eremitani Church in Padua (1459, largely destroyed in the Second World War).

	Tarocchi of Mantegna
		In part this association of the tarot with Jewish esotericism lies in the fact that there are 22 major arcana cards in the modern tarot pack and this parallels the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet, which lies at the heart of the Kabbalistic system.
		This is one of the earliest known tarot or Tarocchi packs, being dated to c.1465, contemporary with the Visconti-Sforza deck of the mid-fifteenth century which is recognised as the earliest tarot.
		Most scholars are of the opinion that this Tarocchi has been wrongly attributed to Andreas Mantegna (1431-1506) the painter and printmaker of the School of Padua, and rather are to be seen as emanating from the School of Ferrara.
