520			_a"Mantegna and Francia" by Julia Cartwright is an illustrated art-historical biography written in the late 19th century. It traces the lives, works, and influence of the Renaissance painters Andrea Mantegna and Francesco Francia, setting their art within the culture, patrons, and workshops of Northern and Central Italy. The opening of the book focuses on Mantegna: it sketches the rise of the Paduan school, his training under Squarcione, and the bold innovations of his Eremitani frescoes—sculptural forms, exacting perspective, classical detail, and close study of nature—shaped by Donatello, Paolo Uccello, and his ties to the Bellini family. It follows his move to Mantua, key commissions such as the San Zeno altarpiece, the Uffizi triptych, the celebrated St. Sebastian and Dead Christ, and the courtly portraits and illusionistic oculus of the Camera degli Sposi. Letters reveal Gonzaga patronage and the artist’s irascible temperament, alongside his major Roman venture (now lost) and his engravings, which extend his range from sacred drama to classical themes. A detailed account of the Triumphs of Julius Caesar highlights his learned classicism, rhythmic composition, and refined colour. The narrative then surveys late works—the Parnassus and Wisdom over the Vices, the Madonna della Vittoria, other altarpieces and drawings, and an unrealized Virgil monument—before turning to his final years: mounting debts, family troubles, yet undimmed invention in works like the later St. Sebastian and the Triumph of Scipio, ending with him seeking aid from Isabella d’Este.
