Battle of the Sea Gods (left half) collections.artsmia.org/art/9199

left half (with P.68.210)
According to the sign held by the crone at the upper left, envy has led to discord among the sea gods. When satyrs on seahorses square off, it's fish versus baton, while the nymph-bearing sea-centaurs adopt bonier weapons. This print was the largest engraving ever produced at the time it was made-so large that the image had to be engraved on two separate plates. It so perfectly embodied Renaissance understanding of antiquity that the sculptures based on its design were thought to be genuinely ancient.

The Risen Christ between Saints Andrew and Longinus collections.artsmia.org/art/7412

Andrea Mantegna was court artist to the Gonzaga family in Mantua for forty-six years, producing works that reflected the culture of the learned court and of the city itself. This print, which shows Saint Andrew cleverly stepping into our space, features Mantua's most revered saints. Supposedly Saint Longinus carried two relics to the city: some earth on which Christ's blood fell while he was crucified, and the sponge soaked with sour wine that was offered to him to drink. Longinus buried the relics before being martyred in a.d. 35, and it was only thanks to a vision of Saint Andrew that Mantuans later knew where to find them. In 1472 the city began building a basilica on that spot to house the relics.
