The Battle of the Sea Gods (left portion of frieze) before 1481 Andrea Mantegna Italian Mantegna's mastery of the nude in action was paradigmatic for Renaissance artists. Here, he achieved a magnificent control of tone through the use of highly graded parallel hatching, in which the lines of varying thickness follow the movement of the forms, creating stunning effects of flickering light. Teeming with learned classical references, the subject of this engraving may have been Mantegna's own invention or that of one of the erudite humanists at the Gonzaga court in Mantua. The scene portrays the allegorical figure of Envy-the haggard old woman holding the tablet inscribed INVID (for "invidia," or envy) at left-towering over the marine deities below, her powers rendering their frenzied combat ineffectual on the turbulent waters of the sea. The god Neptune, standing on an elaborate pedestal slightly off-center in the background, turns his back on the battle. Mantegna wrote to one of his patr

Cadmus fighting the Dragon. Artist: Léon Davent (French, active 1540-56); After Francesco Primaticcio (Italian, Bologna 1504/5-1570 Paris). Dimensions: Sheet: 9 13/16 in. × 12 in. (25 × 30.5 cm). Date: ca. 1540-45.Léon Davent, of whom little more is known than his name and that he made more than 200 prints (most of which record designs produced by artists who worked at the palace of Fontainebleau) began his printmaking career as an engraver. Although he soon turned to etching, apparently delighting in the freedom of movement this medium allowed, his hatching exhibits a certain evenness and control that must be the legacy of his early training in engraving. In this etching, we can see the pleasure the artist took in creating linear pattern, whether the squiggly lines that indicate the rough bark of the tree or the sinuous curves that reinforce the twisting of the dragon's neck. This print also provides an excellent example of Davent's preference for an all-over gray tone, from which a f
