Madonna and Child with Seraphim and Cherubim
In this early Madonna and Child, painted in about 1460, Mantegna seems to be experimenting with a pictorial equivalent for the relief sculpture of Donatello, who worked at Padua in the 1440s. This painting in turn inspired the early Madonnas of Mantegna's brother-in-law, Giovanni Bellini.
