The best thing that Mantegna ever painted was the verdict of Giorgio Vasari writing of the Triumphs of Caesar in the middle of the 16th century. All who see these works - now displayed in the Lower Orangery at Hampton Court - will endorse Vasari's enthusiasm for the paintings which show the Gallic Triumph of Julius Caesar in all its splendour. This study sets the Triumphs in the context of the artist's life, work and intellectual development. It also offers a picture, from contemporary sources, of the environment in which they were created, particularly the Gonzaga Court at Mantua. The catalogue describes the nine large canvases in great detail, and also includes copies, drawings and engravings of this major work of the late Quattrocento. The classical comparisons are supported in the accompanying illustrations.

"A lucid, spirited and intelligent account of the era."―Contemporary Review The splendor of Gothic art can be seen in the magnificent cathedrals of Notre Dame, Chartres, Rouen, Salisbury and Lincoln and in their sculpture. But also between 1140 and 1400 a vast quantity of very fine paintings, stained glass, manuscript illuminations, metalwork and tapestries were produced. Andrew Martindale writes of all these great achievements in one of the best available concise surveys of this highly creative period in Western art. 206 illustrations, 32 in color

A study of the life and work of the painter Simone Martini (c.1284-1344) who was well-respected during his life-time but subsequently was considered less important than Giotto and his followers. The author now sets the work of the painter in context relating it to the developments of Gothic Art. Facts about the artist's life - in particular his dealings with his powerful patrons and his commissions in Naples and Avignon - offer the art historian a new perception of fourteenth century Italy. The accompanying illustrated catalogue highlights the wide range of subjects and media that Simone used setting him apart from his contemporaries. Simone Martini's previous publications include "Gothic Art", "The Rise of the Artist" and "The Triumphs of Caesar by Andrea Mantegna".

These eight papers by Professor Martindale represent his major studies on the history of secular painting in medieval and early Renaissance Italy. Written over fifteen years, they focus attention on the evidence for secular decoration in this period. Covering Venice, Siena, and Mantegna's work in Mantua, this represents an important and often neglected aspect of early Italian art.
