Si può dire forse cosí:
l’amore va e va e va
e non v’è angolo
dove non sia a casa sua.
E i baci si allungano veloci
come a primavera le giornate.
Andrea Mantegna (1431-1506)
Mantegna, Andrea - Pittore ed incisore padovano, nato nel 1431, probabilmente a Isola di Carturo, allora in territorio di Vicenza, morto a Mantova il 13 settembre 1506. Fu l'iniziatore del Rinascimento nel Veneto e il rinnovatore della pittura nell'Italia settentrionale.
Era figlio di contadini; ne scoprì il genio e lo indirizzò all'arte Francesco Squarcione; strana figura di pittore e più di pedagogo e d'imprenditore, arrivato all'arte a trentadue anni dalla sartoria, a cui la vecchia storiografia, per vanità provinciale, assegnò il compito d'inventore d'un rinascimento particolare, non possibile in una terra ancora sotto il fascino pieno dell'arte bizantina e della gotica, e che il mondo non ebbe se non da Firenze.

Jaume Huguet | Early Renaissance painter
Jaume Huguet (1412–1492) was a Catalan painter.
Originally from Valls, he moved to Tarragona to stay with his uncle Pere Huguet, who was also a painter. When they moved to Barcelona he was exposed to modern trends of the time. Between 1440-1445 he worked in Zaragoza and later in Tarragona, where he was influenced by the Flemish style of Luis Dalmau.
A retablo from Huguet is in the Monastery of Pedralbes, while another, depicting the Adoration of the Magi (or Epiphany) is housed in the Chapel of St. Agatha in Barcelona's Palau Reial Major.
