# View of the south and east walls [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MANTEGNA, Andrea]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Walnut oil on plaster ## Commentary The south and east walls of the Camera degli Sposi have no pictures. These are painted with drapery in gold brocade. Large purchases of gold leaf in the spring of 1474 - four thousand sheets in all - can only be linked to these two walls, inasmuch as the ceiling, which also exhibits a lavish use of gold, had long since been finished. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Agony in the Garden \(detail\)]() - [Agony in the Garden \(detail\)]() - [Agony in the Garden]() - [Agony in the Garden]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Bacchanalia with a Wine Vat]() - [Baptism of Christ]() - [Baptism of Christ]() - [Battle of the Sea Gods]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
