EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Andrea Mantegna's drawing titled "Envy" in all its intricate detail. Housed in the Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe at the renowned Uffizi Gallery in Florence, this artwork is a testament to Mantegna's mastery of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Dating back to the 15th century, "Envy" explores the abstract concept and symbol of spite through an allegorical representation. The drawing depicts an old man, personifying envy, with aggressive and hostile body language that delves into human psychology. Alongside him stands a fanciful animal known as a hippogriff, representing literature and fiction. The composition also incorporates elements from Greco-Roman mythology, with Poseidon (Neptune) emerging from the sea in the background. This divine presence adds depth to the piece while emphasizing envy's destructive nature. One intriguing aspect of this artwork is the inclusion of a mirror-like object held by Envy. It reflects both male and female figures, suggesting that envy affects individuals regardless of gender or age. The surrounding landscape showcases Mantegna's skillful rendering of seascape scenery, further enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. Through his meticulous attention to detail and use of light and shadow, he brings life to every stroke on paper. Photographed between 1910-1914 by Anchise & C. Mannelli from Alinari studios, this image preserves Mantegna's masterpiece for generations to come. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of psychological aspects but also in its contribution to European art during different periods throughout history. As you gaze upon this photograph print capturing "Envy" let yourself be transported back centuries ago when artists like Andrea Mantegna pushed boundaries with their creativity and imagination.
