• Resumen

  • Andrea Mantegna's Pietà (ca. 1495–1500), now in Copenhagen, is discussed. In this devotional picture, Mantegna does not use the dynamic of a narrative, or the illusion of space and bodies, to involve the viewer in an exciting drama, or to draw them into a real (but also ideal) pictorial world. Instead, he encourages the viewer to reflect on fiction and to search for the spiritual. The painting also shows that, for Mantegna, the classical/sculptural did not represent the ideally beautiful (where matter and spirit form a synthesis), but something that needs to be destroyed in order to set the spirit free.
