Andrea MantegnaItalian Early Renaissance painter, sculptor, engraver & printmaker. born 1431 - died 13 September 1506.MANTEGNA, ANDREA (1431-1506), one of the chief heroes in the advance of painting in Italy, was born in Vicenza, of very humble parentage. It is said that in his earliest boyhood Andrea was, like Giotto [1267-1337], put to shepherding or cattle-herding; this is not likely, and can at any rate have lasted only a very short while, as his natural genius for art developed with singular precocity, and excited the attention of Francesco Squarcione [1397-1468], who entered him in the gild of painters before he had completed his eleventh year.
