      PLATE I.—THE MADONNA DELLA VITTORIA.   Frontispiece

      (In the Louvre)

      This beautiful composition, considered one of Mantegna’s greatest masterpieces, was painted in 1495-96 in commemoration of the victory won at Fornovo on July 6, 1494, by the Marquis of Mantua as generalissimo of the united Italian forces.
