Madonna della Vittoria's Fresco

The careful restoration process has brought back to light these beautiful coils, with plant motifs, which underline the way the pattern chosen by the unknown artist is based on the combination of clear colours that stand out against the brighter colours of the background. Light blue, yellow, red. The effect created is similar to what can be seen in paintings by Mantegna, and the architecture is embellished by insertions suggesting the idea of a close relationship between the inventions of man and those of nature. Still today this kind of painting can be seen inside many houses in Mantua, which is typical of the second half of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th. In some cases these traces are visible also on facades, which once must have given the city a lush and lively appearance.
