Madonna with child and three saints

Andrea Mantegna's Madonna with Child and Three Saints, painted around 1490 and now in the Musée Jacquemart-André, Paris, is a late sacra conversazione by the Gonzaga court painter. The work demonstrates Mantegna's continued mastery of the unified devotional composition in his final decades. The Musée Jacquemart-André, assembled by banker Édouard André and his painter wife Nélie Jacquemart, houses one of the finest collections of Italian Renaissance art in France.

Mantegna's late sacra conversazione features a somewhat mellowed palette compared to his early Paduan hardness, while maintaining the precise drawing, sculptural figure modeling, and classical compositional structure of his entire career.
