DESIGN NAME: Battle of the Sea Gods
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Frieze
INSPIRATION: The left portion of the painting features Neptune and allegory of Envy. Mantegna was no less eminent as an engraver, though his history in that respect is somewhat obscure, partly because he never signed or dated any of his plates, but for a single disputed instance of 1472. The account which has come down to us from Vasari.
