(Andrea Mantegna, San Zeno Altarpiece (left panel), The Agony in the Garden, 1457-1459)What a fantastic dead tree. Note the mushrooms at the bottom. They are familiar almost to the point of touch. I’m also bewildered by the ethereal body of the angel in the top right: truly other-worldly, reminiscent of vanishing deities in Tibetan art.
(Andrea Mantegna, The Adoration of the Shepherds, circa 1450)The stumpy tree is really nice in the background of this Mantegna too. And how about that arched rock! Reminds me of the island of Staff in Scotland.
Which reminds me again of another Agony of the Garden by Mantegna (1460).
