In the life of Andrea Mantegna
The whole life1460
The Gonzagas call Mantegna into service: 75 lire a month
Marquis Ludovico III Gonzaga had long been pressing Mantegna to enter his service; in 1460 he became court artist at a salary of 75 lire a month — so large a sum for the period that it showed the high regard in which his art was held. Mantegna was the first painter of any eminence to be based in Mantua.
