Painted in tempera on panel between 1453 and 1454, it represents a significant example of early Renaissance art in Northern Italy. The polyptych is structured in two registers, each containing multiple arched panels separated by gilded columns. The upper register depicts Christ flanked by saints, while the lower register features St. Luke at centre, writing, surrounded by other religious figures. Each figure is framed within its own arched space, creating a sense of individual importance and separation. The use of gold leaf in the background and architectural elements adds to the work's opulence and reflects the artistic conventions of the time. Mantegna's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the figures' drapery, facial expressions, and the textures of the materials. The composition is symmetrical and balanced, reflecting the Renaissance emphasis on order and harmony. The polyptych demonstrates Mantegna's early mastery of perspective and his ability to create a sense of depth within a relatively shallow space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/enthroned-madonna-st-jerome-and-st-sebastian-carlo-crivelli\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eEnthroned Madonna, St. Jerome and St. Sebastian - Carlo Crivelli — Carlo Crivelli\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Andrea Mantegna","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679084749135,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679087501647,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679087534415,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679087567183,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679087599951,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Polyptych-of-St_Poster_CompositorV1_1778635206164.jpg?v=1778637013","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/polyptych-of-st-luke-andrea-mantegna","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
